2 Excellent Documentaries at the Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival Today Sunday, September 28!

Cathy & Harry – Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff (USA) A revealing and humorous double-portrait of Catherine Murphy and Harry Roseman whose work is in collections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Metropolitan Transit Authority. Cathy & Harry documents how their lives revolve in joyous, dizzying intensity around work, food, friends, and each other. 2025; 45 min.

Bob & Hazel: Bound by Love, Divided by Color – Lara Firestone (Santa Barbara, California) Bob & Hazel is a powerful documentary about a 60-year interracial love story that defied the racial boundaries of 1960s America, overcoming relentless challenges of bigotry, war, and societal rejection. What do Atlantic City, New Jersey; Fort Hood, Texas; and Vietnam have in common? Each of these iconic places—steeped in history and struggle—challenged Bob and Hazel Levy in their journey together. But their love was unbreakable. 2024; 56 min.

These films will be Online for 24 Hours starting at Midnight today and In-Person at 5 PM in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ. Cathy and Harry Directors Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff plus Bruce and Barbara Ward of Bob and Hazel will be at the in-person screening to do a Q+A with the audience.
