Concert Review of PJ Harvey Live at Terminal 5 in New York City, September 15, 2024

by Al Nigrin
published 2024-09-17

The multi-faceted and multi-talented British songwriter, singer, and musician PJ Harvey last toured the USA back in 2017 but I was unable to see her perform live that year due to work obligations. At last, on Sunday, September 15, 2024, I finally had the good fortune to snag tickets to one of her two sold-out shows at Terminal 5, which is located at West 56th Street in Manhattan. The standing-room-only venue was absolutely packed,  but I was thrilled to be there.  Having arrived a bit early, I was glad to find a spot only a few rows back from the front of the stage:  it was great to be able to see Harvey’s facial expressions and pantomime-like moves very clearly.  She has an amazingly theatrical presence on stage. 



Important documentary Thank You For Sharing screens at the Fall 2024 New Jersey Film Festival on September 22

by Anran Li
published 2024-09-17

What makes a documentary truly captivating? For a film discussing personal experiences, relationships, traumas, and mental well-being, balancing the nuances of emotions, narrative styles, and approaching perspectives is a delicate craft. The audience craves empathy, not a lecture, and creating an informative and endearing documentary about mental health issues is a significant challenge. It's a delicate balance, and either condescending, distant, overgeneralizing, or too unrelatable messages can quickly bore viewers away. Furthermore, despite the newsreel footage vesting them a coat of “reality,” more insightful viewers can still identify the subjectivity in depicting the topic. Therefore, no exhausting preaching would be easily pardoned. And that is why Thank You for Sharing stands out.
