The nationally known Black Maria Film Festival has generous support from New Jersey City University, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Hudson County Office of Cultural Affairs and Tourism, the William H. Donner - Pikes Peak Foundation, and Adobe Systems, Inc. and Microsoft through TechSoup.org. The New Jersey State Council on the Arts recognized the Thomas A. Edison Media Arts Consortium Black Maria Film Festival with a "Citation of Excellence" in 2015, for achieving the highest standards of excellence as recognized by its peers. Unlike other major film festivals, the Black Maria Festival is not presented in only one location. Instead, the winning films are presented at universities, museums, libraries and cultural centers across the country all year.
