The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival

The George Eastman Museum, RCTV, Writers & Books, and KidsOutAndAbout.com have partnered to bring to Rochester this program of short films by children and teens. Founded by James Kennedy, author of the award-winning The Order of Odd-Fish, the festival aims to encourage reading and media literacy among youth through the making of short videos that tell the entire story of a Newbery Honor or Award book in 90 seconds. Hosted by James Kennedy and Rochester-based author Charles Benoit.
