*What is the New Jersey Young Film & Videomakers Festival?

The New Jersey Young Film & Videomakers Festival provides young video and filmmakers the opportunity to exhibit their works and have them evaluated by prominent representatives in the field of media arts. Since its inception, the purpose of the Festival has been to recognize, celebrate, and encourage emerging student talent in New Jersey, the state in which Thomas Edison first developed the motion picture.
