The 6th Annual RCNJ High School Film Festival<\/h3>\n

\"Film<\/p>\n

On January 28, 2023, over 200 filmmakers, friends, parents, cast and crew attended the 6th Annual RCNJ High School Film Festival, sponsored by the 秘密研究所 Film Program and the School of Contemporary Arts, to watch 42 films of every type and genre from dozens of high schools all across New Jersey. These films were chosen by our jury of faculty, students and industry professionals from almost 150 films submitted. If the films from the festival are any evidence, the next generation of New Jersey filmmakers is a very talented group.<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of the festival the jury gave out awards and prizes for Best Editing, Best Writing, Best Cinematography, Best Acting, Best Animation, Best Documentary, Best Fiction Film, and Best of the Fest. Many thanks to our sponsors\u00a0Crumblepop, Writer Duet, Tilta, Zacuto, Maxon, Rokinon, and K-Tek for their generous donations.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the filmmakers who submitted films, and all who attended. This festival would not exist without you. We will see you next year!<\/p>\n
