Here is the New Jersey Film Festival Fall 2023 Hole in the Head Filmmaker Q+A with Hole in the Head Director Dean Kavanaugh, Festival Judge Anita LaBelle and Festival Director Al Nigrin:
Hole in the Head – Dean Kavanaugh (Wicklow, Ireland) Part-time projectionist and amateur filmmaker, John Kline Jnr, is mute and suffers from missing time. He hires local actors to play his parents in a series of recreated home movies in order to investigate their unsolved disappearance 25 years earlier. Hole in the Head is an independent feature film in which the protagonist re-stages his family’s home movies in order to recall a traumatic event. Melding new with old technologies and a film-within-a-film structure, this feature film proposes a hauntological discourse on autofiction, trauma and private ritual. 2023; 90 min.
Hole in the Head will be playing along with two shorts June and Out of Frame at the Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, September 22, 2023 – Online for 24 Hours and in-person at 7PM in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ.
