Documentary on mystery man Shoshani screens at the 2026 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, February 1!

by Dalton James Vassanella
published 2026-01-28
The Shoshani Riddle is a true international movie. Opening his investigation in France, director Michael Grynszpan traveled the globe from Israel to Uruguay, tracking the life of the mysterious Mr. Shoshani. Overdubbing a dramatized animation of Shoshani walking the streets of 1950s France, the film introduces its mysterious star. Shoshani was a great scholar and nomad throughout the mid 20th century. It was reported he spoke over 30 languages and had a perfect memory of the Torah, Talmud, Tanakh, and more. Earning the nickname “The Jewish Socrates,” Shoshani was a figure devoted to inquiry yet steeped in mystery. On his grave it is written, “His birth and his life are sealed in enigma.” While most audiences might be unfamiliar with Shoshani, his students include Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, who authored the mysterious epitaph of Shoshani’s tombstone.

New Release Review - "Mother Of Flies"

It's ironic that a terminal diagnosis can often result in the recipient getting a new lease of life. Knowing exactly how limited your time is can make you determined to embrace life and go out smiling. Conversely, the loved ones of such people often sink into depression, unable to adopt the positive outlook of the friend, lover or family member they're set to lose, forced to put on a brave face while dying a little themselves.

It Needs to Be Seen! Don’t Look in The Dark premieres at the 2026 New Jersey Film Festival on January 31!

by Jack Bolton
published 2026-01-27
I love horror. I’ve loved it since I was twelve and my friends from Boy Scouts showed me Friday the 13th for the first time. With almost a decade of experiencing the genre, I have learned that there are things more terrifying than jump scares and gore, for example, the fear of the unknown. Sure, the monster or crazed killer might be scary, but when you can’t see who- or what- is killing people, the viewer’s mind is left to fill in the blanks, projecting their own fears onto the antagonist and making it seem much scarier. Everything is more frightening when you’re in the dark, and Samuel Freeman’s Don’t Look in the Dark uses this aspect of horror to its fullest effect.

Psychedelic short 12th House screens at the New Jersey Film Festival on Saturday, January 31, 2026

by Benjamin West
published 2026-01-26
12th House is an abstract short from Ilona and Israel Laboy, a psychedelic menagerie of strange imagery which seems to hold a deep, personal significance for the filmmakers yet can just as easily be enjoyed as a simple barrage of the bizarre. The first few shots act as a rapidly ascending gradient into maximalism, beginning with an almost entirely grayscale shot of the main character walking in a daze on the beach, with barely perceptible accents of color in her makeup. More color is added with the introduction of a graffiti-laden phonebooth, standing as a monument of vibrance against the background of a dull gray ocean, before the film finally reaches a crescendo and embraces the visual aesthetic of psychedelic overstimulation which will characterize the majority of the short, with the setting transitioning from the black-and-white beach to what appears to be either a bar or restaurant drenched in multi-colored neon lighting.
