The 44th Bi-Annual New Jersey Film Festival will be taking place between September 5-October 10, 2025. The Festival will be a hybrid as we will be presenting it online as well as doing select in-person screenings at Rutgers University. All the films will be available virtually via Video on Demand for 24 hours on their show date. VOD start times are at 12 Midnight Eastern USA. Each General Admission Ticket or Festival Pass purchased is good for both the virtual and the in-person shows when both are offered. Plus, we are very proud to announce that the acclaimed band Cold Weather Company will be doing an audio-visual concert on Friday, October 10 at 7PM! Lastly, we will be offering three FREE Filmmaking Workshops! The in-person screenings, the filmmaking workshops and the Cold Weather Company concert will be held in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ beginning at 1PM, 5PM or 7PM on their show date.

The Filmmaking Workshops are FREE and open to the public but has limited seating and requires advance registration. To register email us at njmac12@gmail.com
The film is a poignant personal memory quest that begins at the Bay of Diamant, in Martinique, and carries us to 3 continents, to shine light on what it means to be black today in a globally interconnected world, as seen through the eyes of Martinican artist Laurent Valère and his transatlantic dialogs with the black diaspora.
