Touching Short Pierre West screens at the Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 21

Directors Henrik Larsson and Jakob Arevärn’s film Pierre West centers on Pierre, a young Swedish man, through two distinct periods of time in his life between 2007 and 2024, exploring his most emotional, joyful, and sadness-filled experiences and thoughts. Throughout the film, audiences witness Pierre as he navigates past trauma and the challenges of life. Filmed between 2007 and 2024, Pierre West sticks both as a time piece and a testament to the hard work of its creators in its poignant writing, emotional performances, and moving use of visual language.

"We come from Finland, we are all from Helsinki, the capital city," stated The Rasmus front man Lauri Ylonen  as he discussed the band's newest release, origins, songwriting and more. "We met a long time ago at school, we were 15 years old when we put the band together and that was about 30 years ago. So, it has been a long career for us, this will be our eleventh album, there have been a lot of things happening during those years but fortunately we are still together and only two of our members have changed. We have two original guys, me and the bass player and we're excited about The Rasmus for 2025."

LATEST COLUMNS


"She's Like the Wind"

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.
