New Jersey Independent Film Festival

The New Jersey Independent Film Festival will bring a four-day showcase of global independent films to the Cranford Theater, in Cranford NJ. Not only will the festival bring a diverse selection of cutting-edge films, but it will also honor the area's Hispanic population by featuring a special section featuring the achievements and heritage of Latin American filmmakers. 

The New Jersey Independent Film Festival is one of the newest members of a family of film festivals including the Venice Film Week, the Boston Short Film Festival, the Hong Kong Arthouse Film Festival, and many more! It's fair to say the festival is in good company. For its inaugural edition, NJIFF included a 2 hour retrospective with a selection of award winning independent cinema in association with these partners.
