Amazing Supporting Actresses screens at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on Saturday, June 7th

by Yuri Kim
published 2025-06-07
Arturo Dueñas’ Supporting Actresses (Secundarias) is a love letter to theater, but more than that, it’s a bustling, compelling portrait of the people who make it come alive. Set against the backdrop of an opening night performance at the Calderón Theater in Valladolid, this Spanish-language film blurs the line between fiction and reality in deeply satisfying ways. It’s shot (or appears to be shot) in one, continuous take, and that single, unbroken breath captures the anxiety, chaos, beauty, and deeply human moments that unfold behind the curtain.

Animation films rule at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival

by Morgan Kalmbach
published 2025-06-06
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.
