All the works that we are screening are part of the Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival Competition and were selected by a panel of judges including media professionals, journalists, students, and academics. These judges selected the XX finalists which will be publicly screened at our Festival. The finalists were selected from over XXX works submitted by filmmakers from around the world. In addition, the judges will choose the prize winners in conjunction with the Festival Director. Prize winners will be announced after the screenings on October 8 via our social media sites.
The Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival is curated by Albert Gabriel Nigrin.
