Inaugural New Jersey Hispanic Film Festival

NJCH is proud to sponsor the inaugural New Jersey Hispanic Film Festival hosted by the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, NJ, October 4-6 as part of Hispanic Heritage Month. The event will bring together filmmakers, community members, and organizations to showcase the richness and diversity of Hispanic experiences through film.

The festival will show more than 15 films, including: I’ll Carry You With Me (Audience Choice Winner at Sundance Film Festival 2020, Sony Pictures Classics), Totem (Academy Award Best Foreign Film 2023), No (Sony Pictures Classics), Quinceañera (Sony Pictures Classics), Your Monsters (Midnight Horror), Nosotros Los Pobres (Golden Age Classic), Encanto (Walt Disney) and six international shorts, including two from last year’s Breakthrough Filmmaker Fest – Con Mis Dedos and Subjective Worlds.

Programming will also showcase family programs, talk backs and cultural workshops. A panel discussion on Undocu-Filmmaking, led by the Undocumented Film Collective and industry experts is scheduled, as well as a panel on Women in Media, led by Doris Martinez, Owner/Founder DFez Content Media Management and Latino Circuit TV. The closing night will feature a concert with Xol Azul Band at the Vogel.
