PUTTING INDEPENDENT FILM FIRST

The SOMA Film Festival features and supports independent and emerging filmmakers. We believe that independent film can change the way people experience the world.

Set in the bucolic and artistically rich enclaves of Maplewood and South Orange, NJ, just thirty minutes from Manhattan, the three-year-old festival has the warmth and spirit of a small town mixed with the creative force of a big city.
