The Competition component of the Spring 2026 New Jersey Film Festival has just concluded! Overall, we had a good festival this year. We had a few screenings that were very well attended and a bunch with lower turnouts but that happens every festival for a variety of reasons. The in-person show attendance was about the same as our Festival last year, but the online viewership is what has kept us afloat financially since COVID broke in 2020. All the Official Selection works of the Spring 2026 New Jersey Film Festival were selected by a panel of judges including media professionals, journalists, students, and academics. These judges selected the 33 finalists which were publicly screened at our Festival. The finalists were selected from over 600 works submitted by filmmakers from around the world. In addition, the judges chose the Prize Winners in conjunction with the Festival Director. Here below are the winners of the Festival.

(SUMMIT, NJ) -- Stony Hill Players presents Rehearsal for Murder from March 5-8, 2026 at The Oakes Center. This is an exhilarating mystery by the creators and writers of Murder She Wrote and Columbo which will leave you guessing who did it all the way through to the end!
With Send Help, screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift have taken the basic setup of Lina Wertmuller's Swept Away (and its awful Madonna-starring, Guy Ritchie directed remake) and given it a gender swap. Here it's a lowly female employee who finds herself stranded on a desert island with her male boss. Much of Send Help explores the same class and sexual tensions as Wertmuller's film, but with Sam Raimi in the director's chair we know things are going to get a little crazy at some point. And, boy, do they!
