Austin Film Critics Award
The Austin Film Critics Association (AFCA) is an organization of professional film critics from Austin, Texas.

Film criticism is also labeled as a type of writing that perceives films as possible achievements and wishes to convey their differences, as well as the films being made in a level of quality that is satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
