Atlantic City Cinefest returns October 13 to 15. Party Friday night. Saturday filmmaking panel. Ursula Ryan Memorial Honoree. A good time will be had by all.
Submissions will be open for anyone in North America, about any subject. That said, we like to screen our share of New Jersey-based films.
And we'd like to have a block of films focused on social injustice, a broad enough topic.
The screenwriting competition will also return for 2022. Again, any subject matter, but scripts that celebrate the arts would be welcome.
In the past and again in subsequent years, we consider ourselves an independent festival which screens films from North America, but still pays special attention New Jersey movies. We like to bring at least one person from Hollywood/New York as an honoree. Past guests have included Kevin Smith, Robert Downey, Sr. Terry Winter, Peter Dobson, Blanche Baker, Bonnie Bedelia, William Forsythe, Christopher Mann, Chris Mulkey, Brian O'Halloran, Garry Pastore, Scott Schwartz, Al Sapienza, Tom Malloy, Louis Mandylor and Dominique Swain.
Trophies for best of this and best of that. Cash for screenplay winners unless you prefer a trophy.
