Enter the second annual 90-Second Newbery Film Festival, a national contest that celebrates the biggest award in children's literature by asking students across the country to make a video that compresses the story of a Newbery award-winning book into 90 seconds or less.

Join us for a screening of the top videos, hosted by the festival's co-creator James Kennedy and the hilarious Jon Scieszka (The Stinky Cheese Man) with special guest appearances by Kate DiCamillo, author of the Newbery award-winner The Tale of Despereaux and Rita Williams-Garcia, author of the Newbery honor book One Crazy Summer. Co-Presented with the Bank Street Bookstore.
