Welcome to the Fall 2020 New Jersey Film Festival!

As you probably already know, the Fall Festival was scheduled to take place at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey but because of COVID19 the University will not be having any public events on campus this Fall so the Fall Festival is a virtual one. It will take place between September 13 - October 25, 2020. We are using Eventive as our Festival Provider. They have an excellent reputation and have done a masterful job of streaming films for many years.

All the films will be available on VOD (Video On Demand) for 24 hours on their show date. There will also be special Filmmaker Introductions and Q+A Sessions available for many of the films.
