The 9th Annual Short Film Festival
October 10–11, 2025 • Express Newark, Newark, NJ
The Short Film Festival is a two-day celebration of storytelling, creativity, and community. Each year, we bring together filmmakers, content creators, and audiences from across the region and beyond to experience the power of short films. From thought-provoking narratives to bold experiments in visual storytelling, the festival highlights diverse voices and showcases the work of both emerging and established filmmakers.
Along with a full slate of film screenings, this year’s festival will feature a special panel discussion, “From Hobby to Hustle: Content Creators Panel,” where successful creators share how they turned passion into a thriving career. The weekend also includes networking opportunities and our signature awards ceremony, offering filmmakers the chance to connect, collaborate, and be recognized for their craft. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a creator, or simply a lover of film, the Short Film Festival is where stories come alive and creative communities grow.
