90 sec Newberry film festival

The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival is an annual video contest where young filmmakers, anyone under 18, adapt Newbery-winning books into short, creative movies. The festival celebrates children's literature by encouraging participants to retell entire stories in just 90 seconds. The best films are screened at special events in major cities across the U.S., co-hosted by authors. The contest promotes creativity and collaborative filmmaking, as adult help is encouraged.
