About this Event
The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival is an annual video contest in which kid filmmakers create short movies that tell the entire stories of Newbery award-winning books in about 90 seconds. Creative takes are encouraged: think Charlotte's Web as a horror movie, or The Tale of Desperaux as a musical!
For twelve years we've screened the best kid-made movies annually in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other cities . . . and right here in San Antonio!
Make your FREE reservation for the SAN ANTONIO screening of this year's 90-Second Newbery! The screening is hosted by children's authors James Kennedy (The Order of Odd-Fish) and Nikki Loftin (Wish Girl, Nightingale's Nest, and more).
This year, the San Antonio 90-Second Newbery will screen on Saturday, April 22, 2023 from 11 am-12 pm at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, in their beautiful outdoors venue on the Will Naylor Smith Riverwalk Plaza. James and Nikki's books will be available for sale, and you can hang out with the authors and filmmakers!
Tickets are free! However, we recommend reserving your seat in advance to ensure admittance. Although a reservation is recommended, you don't have to bring a printed ticket.
(Interested in making your own 90-Second Newbery movie? Great! You can find complete details, plus video resources, at the 90-Second Newbery website: http://www.90secondnewbery.com.)
