In 2024, AFFR presented a renewed program organised in thematic sections, with more fiction films than ever before. As in previous editions, the festival addressed urgent topics with three alternating programmes that combine films and documentaries with insightful introductions, the so-called Stages - this year Women Perspectives, Leading Light and Urban Greens. In addition to the Stages and the long standing Specials, in 2024 the festival also presented their new, annually recurring Paths: Portraits, Hands on, Cityscapes, Bigger Picture, Cameos and Showstoppers.
