The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. The George Eastman Museum, 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. The 14th annual festival is hosted by Kennedy and author Bruce Coville.
There is still time to make your movies for the Rochester screening! The special extended deadline is March 24, 2025
Free to the public.
