FILM THEMES

Through storytelling, students will examine moments of challenge, resilience, and triumph.

2026 
SPORTS DOCUMENTARY

Sports Documentary (Mini-Doc)
Real stories centered on an athlete, team, coach, or sports journey.
Focused on discipline, resilience, teamwork, and growth

2026 
SHORT DOCUMENTARY

DTP (Document the Process) is a documentary-style competition within the NJFAME Film League that challenges students to capture real learning, real problem-solving, and real growth on camera.
Instead of telling a fictional story, students document a journey—from identifying a problem or goal, to exploring solutions, taking action, and reflecting on outcomes. The final film becomes a powerful record of how change happens, told through student voices and authentic moments.
DTP celebrates process over perfection, emphasizing reflection, iteration, teamwork, and critical thinking—core skills in both education and real-world careers.
