EVENT PREVIEWS
Animation

Animation films rule at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival

Within the world of animation, an artist can choose between many mediums of art in order to best create the piece they want to make. Some choose to stick within one form, and others experiment with multiple. No matter what an artist chooses, their decisions, along with similar filmmaking ones, will not only guide audiences through the work but also offer meaning and set the tone for viewer receptions and interpretations. It is for that reason that this decision is important and paramount within an artist’s process. Artists Nick Zweig, Elizabeth Schneider and Michael Covello, Esther Casas Roura, and Maureen Zent have all made this decision within their respective films, and the end results have no doubt succeeded in reflecting their creators’ thoughts and feelings. Despite this, the films are incredibly different and expansive within their creativity and uniqueness, cementing them as must-watch pieces.



Screening

Screening of A Place of Honor at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival is on Saturday, June 7th!

A Place of Honor is a short documentary, directed by Vanessa Roth, that recounts the lived experiences of veterans and gold star family members from before, through and after the war who found renewed purpose and meaning in their lives when they decided to create the only memorial and museum dedicated to the lives lost in Vietnam.



Joyful

Joyful short Ash Wednesday screens at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on Thursday, June 5th

​​​​​​​In Ash Wednesday, writer and director Grace O’Brien delivers a vibrant, funny, and heartfelt portrait of teenage awkwardness, budding faith, and the bonds of friendship. Set in a Catholic school on one of the holiest days of the liturgical calendar, this coming-of-age short uses humor to explore how periods, rituals, and identity intersect in unexpected and entertaining ways.



Gripping

Gripping Feature Nobody Wants To Shoot A Woman Screens At The 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival

Kerry Ann Enright’s Nobody Wants to Shoot a Woman is a noir crime drama with a feminist pulse and a Brooklyn soul. It opens with a funeral and a woman named Mary staring blankly at her husband’s body as other mourners surround her. The Lord’s Prayer is recited while her son stands beside her. She reaches out and clutches a white rose. That image alone tells us we’re entering not just a crime story, but a slow-burning, emotionally complex portrait of survival.



Authentically

Authentically beautiful feature Supporting Actresses screens at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on June 7!

Supporting Actresses (Secundarias) is bound to be a favorite in the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival. Everything in this beautifully executed film directed by Arturo Dueñas, is centered around a play (Cartas al Emperador, “Letters to the Emperor”) and its ensemble’s representation of it. The film title references the marginality of our main characters who are secondary actresses inside the play. The production of Cartas al Emperador positions each woman in support of the king’s story as the tangential, dramatic or comedic foil to the straight-man; all of them merely women who marked his life by visiting on his deathbed.
