90-Second Newbery Film Festival
@ Harold Washington Library
400 S State St, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Saturday, March 11th, from 2PM - 3:30PM
Join film festival founder James Kennedy (author of The Order of Odd-Fish) and Keir Graff (author of The Tiny Mansion and many other books) as they present the best 90-Second Newbery movies we’ve received this year, from Chicago and around the country.
The 90-Second Newbery is an annual film festival in which kid filmmakers create short movies that tell the entire stories of Newbery-winning books in about 90 seconds (adult help OK). These movies often have a creative twist—think “Charlotte’s Web” in the style of a horror movie, or “Ramona and Her Father” reimagined as a musical, or “Bridge to Terabithia” done in stop-motion animation!
