Child No. 182 screens at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival on Thursday, June 5th

by Yuri Kim
published 2025-06-05

In Child No. 182, filmmaker Camilla Roos turns the lens inward to explore the earliest years of her own life, spent drifting through Finland's child protection system in the 1960s and 70s. Over the course of this 50-minute documentary, we explore the emotional landscape of a child trying to reach stability within an inherently unstable situation. It’s a deeply personal and engaging portrait, one that is all the more intriguing as it is of the filmmaker herself.

"Stick Around for Joy"

by Tris McCall
published 2025-06-04

C.S. Lewis suggests that angels tell us to "fear not" because they are so fearsome. As corroborating evidence, he quotes scripture: the seraphim are described as massive creatures with great occlusive wings and bodies covered with eyes. To stand in the presence of one would be a terrifying thing. And it is by this sign that we may know them. Being not of this earth, the divine is not likely to be beautiful by earthly standards, and hey, what do we mortals know about celestial glory anyway?

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

by Yuri Kim
published 2025-06-04

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.
