The Austin Film Critics Association (often referred to as the AFCA) is an organization of professional film critics from Austin, Texas. It was founded in 2005 by local film critics Cole Dabney and Bobby McCurdy while they were still in high school.
Each year, the AFCA votes on their end of year awards for films released in the same calendar year. A special award, the Austin Film Award, is given each year to the best film made in Austin or by an Austin-area director.
