3rd Teaneck International Film Fest Set for Nov. 14-16, ‘08

We hope you were among the nearly 1,500 people who had a chance to see a film or two (or more) at our Nov. '07 event. It was great fun and filled with unforgettable moments, with a combination of terrific films and compelling Q&A's and discussions with very special guests, including John Sayles, Maggie Renzi and actor Tom Wright at the opening night presentation of the New Jersey premiere of "Honeydripper." What will we do for an encore? We're already planning the third Teaneck International Film Festival, scheduled for Nov. 14-16, 2008. Once again, we will offer a weekend of outstanding feature films, documentaries, shorts and award-winning student films, seasoned with parties, panels, guest appearances and more.

An Afternoon of Fun at Kick-Off Fundraiser, April 6

Wonderful music was provided at the TIFF kick-off party on April 6 by members of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. Playing with the quartet: Diane Lang, violin; Marvin Von Deck, viola; Rosalinda Geneslaw, cello; and William Keller, violin.

 The Good Old Days at the Movies, the Teaneck International Film Festival's kick-off fundraising event for TIFF 2008,  featured wine, cheese, desserts, musical entertainment by members of the Bergen Philharmonic and an exciting auction of movie memorabilia. A contribution to the film festival put donors in a drawing for prizes that included film festival tickets, prizes, and gift certificates to Teaneck stores and happenings. 

Mini-Scholarships Awarded to Student Filmmakers

In addition to screening all the finalists in Bergen County's 2007 Jersey Filmmakers of Tomorrow competition, the Teaneck International Film Festival was pleased to present three mini-scholarships to three of those winners. Kudos to: Frank Ozoria, from Teaneck High School, for "It's Gotta Be the Shoes," voted best documentary. Kisoo Park, from Valley Regional High School, for "Graduation Gift", voted best narrative. Lila Grilli, from Ridgewood High School, for "No Children," voted best in fest.
