Alberta Number One – Alexander (Sandy) Carson (Toronto Canada)

Alberta Number One is a contemporary revisionist Western. Instead of guns, the characters brandish movie cameras and microphones as they explore the disjointed, sometimes dangerous "wild west" of Alberta's museums and roadside attractions. Punctuated by moments of extraordinary tenderness and unexpected violence, Alberta Number One invokes poetry, magic, and prayer to imagine a more radical, caring form of wildness on Canada's Western frontier. 2024; 84 min.

The 44th Bi-Annual New Jersey Film Festival will be taking place between September 5-October 10, 2025. The Festival will be a hybrid as we will be presenting it online as well as doing select in-person screenings at Rutgers University. All the films will be available virtually via Video on Demand for 24 hours on their show date. VoD start times are at 12 Midnight Eastern USA. Each General Admission Ticket or Festival Pass purchased is good for both the virtual and the in-person screenings. Plus, we are very proud to announce that acclaimed band Cold Weather Company will be doing an audio-visual concert on Friday, October 10 at 7PM. Lastly, we will be offering three FREE Filmmaking Workshops! The in-person screenings and the Cold Weather Company concert will be held in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ beginning at 1PM, 5PM or 7PM on their show date. General Admission Ticket=$15 Per Program; Festival All Access Pass=$120; In-Person Only Student Ticket=$10 Per Program. The Filmmaking Workshops are FREE and open to the public but have limited seating and require advance registration.
