FilmOneFest 2019 is Saturday, July 20!

With more than 2,350 submissions from over 100 countries, this year’s FilmOneFest on Saturday July 20 promises to be the best one yet!

Come enjoy the festivities that begin at 6:00 PM in the Atlantic Highlands Marina with live music, food trucks, crafts, and arts, including an experience area.  Then settle into your lawn chair (or one of our premium seats available for just $20) and enjoy more than 40 of the best super short films of the past year with an outdoor screening that begins at 9:00 PM.

Musical acts include returning headliner Cranston Dean, an Atlantic Highlands native. Opening acts feature acoustic duo Double A, and rock band Zoochies, both local favorites.

A diverse selection of food trucks being introduced this year include Good Mood Food, The Sausage Guy/ Tom Piccolo, Ms. Fu’s Yummy Food Truck,  House of Cupcakes, and Kona Ice of NJ. The Atlantic Highland Arts Council will be offering an art “experience” as well as jugglers, henna painters and more.

Judges’ top picks will be announced, with a $250 prize going to the Gartenberg Memorial Award for Excellence in Filmmaking. Other awards include Best Comedy, Best Drama, Best Animation, Best Documentary, and Director’s Choice.  The perennial favorite People’s Choice award will be back, selected in real time by the audience and will be given a $100 prize as well.

Walk-in admission is free for the main screen/lawn; no pre-registration is required. Lawn chairs and blankets are permitted on the great lawn. There are $20 premium seating spots, where attendees view the films on an exclusive screen from cushioned bleachers. For premium seating purchases, CLICK HERE.
