Teaneck International Film Festival - Ethical Culture Society
687 Larch Avenue, Teaneck, NJ 07666

Join or Die

Documentary - 99 MINUTES

Directed, Written & Produced by Rebecca Davis & Pete Davis

Description: Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it. Follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis. What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?

Sponsored by Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County; Steven L. Finkelstein, Russo Real Estate; Rotary Club of Teaneck

Save the Cat

Documentary / short - 24 MINUTES

Directed by Jordan Matthew Horowitz

Description: When a Ukrainian family is forced to flee their home, a group of strangers from around the world band together to help reunite their youngest daughter with her beloved cat, Arsenii.

EVENT PREVIEWS

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. 



Beautiful

Beautiful and sensitive documentary Child No. 182 screens at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on June 5

In her intro for the New Jersey International Film Festival, director and scriptwriter Camilla Roos describes her new documentary Child No. 182, Barn nr 182 in Finnish and confirms that it is based on her own childhood. Child No. 182 follows Roos from her birth to her 8th year of life, as she was circulated through the foster and orphanage system in the 60s and 70s of Finland. The task of visualizing this past personal experience, and its wider implications for child protection, centers in archival print, photography & footage, and 8mm film shot by Roos’ team. The archival material includes municipal documents, letters and reports from social workers, as well as photos of Roos and guardians.
