For over 40 years, the Thomas Edison Film Festival (formerly known as the Black Maria Film Festival) has been celebrating the unique creativity and power of the short film. We embrace our mission to promote and advocate for independent filmmakers around the world through our juried international competition.
Thanks to our generous donors over the course of many years, people who are passionate about film can experience the innovative programming we have championed since 1981.
