The 6th Annual Red Bank International Film Festival is in the works and will take place October 13th-15th.

We are in the midst of our submission drive and encourage all filmmakers to forward us copies of their work.

Our 2006 sponsorship drive is currently underway and we look forward to raising a record amount of money to ensure an exceptional festival.

ANNUAL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Jersey Fresh : Each year our programming committee highlights a selection of films made by New Jersey Filmmakers. These films are submitted by filmmakers across the state in any genre and of any subject matter and if accepted to the festival are eligle for our annual Jersey Fresh award. Our Jersey Fresh program is always one of our most popular.

Emerging Filmmaker Series: The Emerging Filmmakers Series was initiated in 2003 to encourage high school students to explore the art of filmmaking. Through the participation of Monmouth County High Schools, students first create short films, then they organize film screenings at their respective schools, which are attended by a FFS judging panel. One film from each school is selected as part of the Emerging Filmmaker Series on the Saturday afternoon of the festival at the Count Basie Theatre.

The Red Bank International Film Festival, presented by The Freedom Film Society, a non-profit arts organization, brings world-renowned filmmakers and films together with the best of New Jersey cinema. The line up of great films covers a wide spectrum of genres and lengths, providing a program that challenges, informs and entertains in a fresh, exciting way. In addition to the sensational screenings at multiple venues, the Festival transforms Red Bank into a high energy hot spot with parties, Q&A's, awards and multimedia events all throughout town.

Our films are selected by a programming committee that both curates and accepts submissions from independent filmmakers around the world. Our entirely volunteer staff works year assembling funding for the event which is received through grants and sponsorship, both local and corporate.
