Al Nigrin, Executive Director and Curator of the New Jersey Film Festival, sits down to talk with Kasey Child, Director of Rembrandt Lives in New Jersey, and Helen Frank, the artist the film focuses on, for a filmmaker interview:
The cleverly titled documentary, Rembrandt Lives in New Jersey, by Kasey Child, presents the artwork and life of an 80+ year-old New Jersey native “etcher” and printmaker, Helen Frank, while paying tribute to 17th century Dutch printmaker, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. We see a snippet of Helen Frank on NJN News in 2010, teaching printing to a group of adults. “What I’m doing is what Rembrandt did. It doesn’t look the same, but it's the same history. I’m holding hands with all the people who have gone before me and fallen in love with this medium,” she says. Although Frank employs the same art techniques as Rembrandt, throughout the documentary Frank illustrates (no pun intended) to viewers that her artwork beautifully reflects her own unique experiences and style.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
