The Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium announces the 49th Annual NJ Young Filmmakers’ Festival Premiere, to be held live in-person at the renowned Barrymore Film Center, 153 Main St., Fort Lee, NJ, on Sunday June 11, 2023 at 12:00pm.
The mission of the New Jersey Young Filmmakers’ Festival (NJYFF), a project of the Thomas A. Edison Media Arts Consortium, is to support and promote the work of young emerging filmmakers, who either live in or attend school in the State of New Jersey.
NJYFF gives students the opportunity to submit their films to a highly respected and long-running film festival and have it evaluated by prominent representatives in the field of film and media. Since the very beginning of New Jersey Young Filmmakers in 1974, the purpose of the festival has been to recognize, celebrate, and encourage emerging young talent in New Jersey, the state in which Thomas Edison first developed the motion picture.
The NJYFF 2023 Premiere at the Barrymore Film Center, will begin at 12:00pm with a screening of Jury’s Citation and Honorable Mention films. During intermission, the Barrymore Film Center’s first floor museum gallery will be open to the public.
At 1:30pm the NJYFF Awards Ceremony will be held, and the Jury’s Stellar and Jury’s Choice Award films will be screened in the theater.
