The First Night Morris Film Festival is seeking fun and imaginative films appropriate for all audience to be part of an on-line film festival. All genres are considered including animation, documentary, live-action narrative or anything else that that can capture the imagination.
First Night® Morris County began in 1992 and is the LARGEST First Night® in New Jersey, attracting nearly 10,000 participants each year. An alcohol-free and substance-free celebration of arts and culture, First Night® Morris County attracts families, seniors, singles and anyone looking for an exciting way to ring in the New Year!
In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, First Night® Morris County switched to a virtual program in 2020 which featured 40 Performances+ with Streaming and On-Demand Services, including, for the first time, a film festival organized by our partners at First Contact Film Festival.
2021 marks our 30th anniversary and we aim to expand our film festival to include more films and reach an even larger audience.
