New Jersey Archival Film Festival
New Jersey Archival Film Festival
November 1, 2025
November 1, 2025
Monmouth University's Great Hall
The New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance (NJSAA), the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC) New Jersey Caucus, and the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music (BSACAM) are thrilled to announce the first-ever NJ Archival Film Festival—a celebration of the stories preserved in your vaults and the vital work you do.
We invite New Jersey archives, libraries, and museums to submit short films (up to 15 minutes) held in their collections. Submissions may include—but are not limited to—documentaries, short films, performance recordings, home movies, and public service films. These films do not need to relate directly to New Jersey; they may also reflect broader historical or cultural themes.
Institutions outside of New Jersey are also welcome to participate—as long as the film content relates directly to New Jersey history or culture or was created by a New Jersey-based individual or organization.
To be eligible, films must:
Be no longer than 15 minutes
Be held in a museum, archival, library, etc repository
Be submitted in digital format
If you're interested in participating, please complete the following submission form by September 12, 2025. Notices of acceptance will be sent out by October 1, 2025: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe4gLoywLDuP8EZXduRNOM0ytBsxt4mJnY2EEL1C-7eOGgFFw/viewform

Join us for a compelling presentation on the Revolutionary War history of Red Bank Battlefield and the remarkable discovery of human remains believed to be those of Hessian soldiers who fought and died during the Battle of Red Bank in 1777. This talk explores the historical significance of the battlefield, the archaeological investigation that led to the discovery, and what ongoing research is revealing about the lives and identities of the soldiers. Learn how archaeology, history, and community engagement are coming together to deepen our understanding of this pivotal moment in American history.
If you are working in New Jersey studies and would like to present your current research, please contact program coordinator Melissa Ziobro (mziobro@monmouth.edu).
