<a href="https://bit.ly/FilmFest26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">GET TICKETS HERE!</a>
Garden State Film Festival and Asbury Shorts USA Present an Evening of Award-Winning Films from Around the World, Including Work by Local Camden County Filmmakers and Students
COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Asbury Shorts USA, now in its 44th year, and the Garden State Film Festival will once again bring an evening of award-winning short films from around the world to the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
Presented in association with the Camden County Board of Commissioners, this year’s “Best of the Fest” program will feature an eclectic collection of outstanding short films from filmmakers around the world, including works with strong local connections to Camden County.
Joining the evening will be Camden County Commissioner Director Louis Cappelli Jr. and Commissioner Colleen Bianco Bezich, as the program celebrates independent filmmaking, international storytelling and the creative talent emerging from South Jersey.
Among the locally connected films featured in this year’s program is Terroir, filmed at Amalthea Cellars in Atco, which follows a young wine critic who returns to a French vineyard one year after delivering a bad review.
The program will also feature Outside the Lines, a documentary chronicling the Winslow Township Girls Track Team. The film was created by students through Studio 106, Winslow Township High School’s television production and media program, placing the work of young South Jersey filmmakers on the same big screen as award-winning shorts from around the world.
Eric Ascalon, Chair of the Garden State Film Festival Board, said, “There’s something magical about seeing a great short film with an audience—the entire world can change in ten or fifteen minutes. This event brings some of the best short films from around the world to one of South Jersey’s great venues, and we’re incredibly excited to bring it back for another year.”
Kerry Richards, South Jersey Film Cooperative coordinator, remarked, “We are so proud to be bringing back this important event.”
The Scottish Rite Auditorium is located at 315 White Horse Pike, Collingswood, NJ 08108. Tickets can be purchased at <a href="https://bit.ly/FilmFest26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bit.ly/FilmFest26</a>.

Gloucester County Historical Society Museum, 58 N. Broad Street in Woodbury

The <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gloucester County Historical Society</a>&nbsp;takes a look back at the ghost stories from the Civil War in a special presentation in its Museum hosted by Civil War reenactor Vince Dicicco from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on Friday, October 15. He will detail the haunted sites, errie encounters, and tales of apparitions reported from buildings and sites across the grounds where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought.
Gettysburg is considered one of the most haunted places in the country, with numerous accounts of ghostly regiments, phantom horsemen, and mysterious faces appearing in photographs. Sites like Devil’s Den at Gettysburg, Bloody Lane at Antietam, Chickamauga, Sharpsburg, Shiloh, and Andersonville are well-known for reports of spectral soldiers wandering the grounds or reenacting historical battles.
Tourists and locals at Gettysburg have reported seeing apparitions, hearing the sounds of battle, and encountering unexplained phenomena around landmarks such as the Gettysburg Orphanage, Farnsworth House, and Soldier’s Orphanage cellar. Bloody Lane at Antietam has tales of ghostly singing, vanishing Confederate soldiers, phantom gunfire, and strange smells attributed to lingering spirits of fallen men.
Tickets available at $15/person. Tickets must be <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/shop/vince-dicicco/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">purchased in advance online</a>.

Woodbury Friends Meetinghouse at 124 North Broad Street in Woodbury

In a <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/shop/presentation-when-british-general-charles-cornwallis-occupied-gloucester-county/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">presentation</a> at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Woodbury Friends Meeting House, historian Patrick Ward will recount the local Revolutionary War campaigns of British General Charles Cornwallis, one of Great Britain’s most aggressive and capable senior field commanders during the American Revolution. Cornwallis’ later maneuvers in the South ultimately culminated in his surrender at Yorktown, the final battle of the war, in 1781.
Cosponsored by the <a href="https://www.gchsnj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gloucester County Historical Society</a> and the <a href="https://www.southjerseyquakers.org/woodbury-friends-meeting/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Woodbury Friends Meeting</a>, the event is open to the public and admission is free.
Ward is a Southern New Jersey historian whose interest focuses on Gloucester City, the Delaware River, and the region’s Revolutionary War history. Cosponsored by the Gloucester County Historical Society and the Friends Meeting, the event is free and open to the public.
Titled “British General Lord Cornwallis Marches to Woodbury and Gloucester County in November 1777,” Ward’s PowerPoint presentation will include maps from the period, information about the military units that participated, personal accounts from those on the march, and details about how the Americans responded to Cornwallis’ forces.
On Oct. 22, 1777, Hessian forces failed to capture Fort Mercer at Red Bank. By holding the fort, American troops disrupted efforts to resupply the British Army in Philadelphia by way of the Royal Navy and other supply vessels on the Delaware River.
General Sir William Howe, commander in chief of the British land forces, responded by organizing a larger expedition against Fort Mercer. He placed General Lord Cornwallis in command of the attacking force.
On Nov. 17, 1777, a combined force of British and Hessian troops landed south of Fort Billingsport, New Jersey, and began marching north through Gloucester County. Additional British troops from New York City landed at Fort Billingsport under the command of General Thomas Wilson.
Cornwallis assumed command of the combined force, estimated at 4,900 troops, and led it north toward Fort Mercer at Red Bank. Their objective was to eliminate the last remaining American threat to British shipping on the Delaware River.
Ward’s presentation will include an opportunity for informal discussion with the audience.
