Wonderful feature Stargazer screens at the 2023 New Jersey International Film Festival on Sunday, June 11

by Jesse Einhorn
published 2023-06-08

Stargazer, a film by Alan McIntyre, truly delves into the idea about what stories get to be told, how they are told, and most importantly for the films case, who gets to tell them? The story follows Grace, an undergraduate student desperate to tell the story of a forgotten astronomer named Cecilia, whose accomplishments were stolen by men and never brought to light as her own. Grace’s journey to share this story is complicated by Spike, a journalist looking to make the story his own, and Diana, a dancer who brings context about Ancient Greece, power, and the role of women to men. These two complicate Grace’s point of view, and makes her choose which she thinks is right, as Diana says in the film, she has to choose whether to “Fuck the man or say fuck you to the man”. Throughout the film, Grace’s journey is a search for clarity, self-discovery, and to find what role people play in telling other stories, and these decisions and answers are all complicated by Diana and Spike’s opposing forces.



The Life of Christ from Another, Very Musical, Point of View – "Jesus Christ Superstar"

by Bruce Chadwick
published 2023-06-07

This is the official 50th anniversary of the premiere of the hit Broadway play Jesus Christ Superstar, a musical that has played all over the world and is headed for the State Theatre, in New Brunswick, this coming weekend (June 9-11). It is not the traditional story of Jesus' life and death, though, but a story that puts Judas, who betrayed Christ, in a major role. He, and high priests who punished Jesus, are the major players in the story, along with Christ.
