Presented by the URBAN-15 Group, the Josiah Media Festival is one of few film festivals around the world dedicated to showcasing outstanding works by artists 21 years old and younger.

The 19th JMF will accept film submissions from May 1st – August 1st, 2025.

The festival presents a career-defining opportunity for young media artists to showcase their work around the world. The festival was founded in 2007 in honor of San Antonio filmmaker Josiah Miles Neundorf by his parents, Marcus and Nancy Neundorf, who collaborated with URBAN-15 to create this event.

Now in it’s 19th year, JMF not only streams globally, but has grown to screen films submitted from all around of the world.

This year, our FREE movie nights on the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza come with a twist! Screenings now happen on Saturdays, featuring quarterly themes showcasing some of your favorite films.

Join us on the second Saturday of the month for a perfect evening under the stars. The plaza opens at 6 PM, and the movie begins at 7 PM. Bring your lawn chairs or a cozy blanket to enjoy the show on our stunning 32-foot LED video wall! Full concessions and a bar will be available to enhance your movie experience.

🌧️ Rain or Shine: These events will go on regardless of the weather. If the skies don’t cooperate, we’ll move the fun indoors.

🚫 Please note: Pets, outside food, and outside drinks are not permitted on the plaza or in our theaters.

Not sure what to expect? Here are a few tips for making the most of your night out:

• Parking: Convenient parking is available at the Tobin Center Parking Garage (227 4th Street, 78205).
• Arrive Early: Secure your perfect spot and avoid navigating through crowds in the dark after the movie starts.
• Seating: Bring blankets or low lawn chairs (no taller than 32" to ensure everyone has a great view). Chairs will also be available on-site as supplies allow.
• Stay Cozy: Cooler evenings call for layers—a long-sleeved shirt or light jacket can make all the difference.
• Share the Fun: Invite your friends! Movie nights are a fantastic way to gather with loved ones and enjoy a relaxing evening together.

Make your Saturday nights memorable at The Tobin Center—see you there! 🎥✨
