The Language I Speak opens the 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 27!

by Alexia Fraser
published 2023-01-21

The Language I Speak is a feature length documentary that focuses on dialects in American culture. I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with the filmmaker, Ana Curadra, for a Q&A session about the film and her approach to filmmaking. After listening to an interview on accents in New York City, Cuadra was inspired to start a project focused on accents and dialects in the United States. She started her research by going to an event at Georgetown University for sociolinguists, where she met most of the linguists she interviewed for the film.

An Interview with Jim Mill

by Gary Wien
published 2023-01-20

Singer-songwriter Jim Mill is best known for his aggressive acoustic rock and Eddie Vedder-like vocals. His latest single, "Never Meant To Be," is something of a surprise. It moves from the blistering, grunge-like sound he's known for in favor of a more 80s alt-rock feel. New Jersey Stage reached out to Jim to learn more about the song and where he's at musically after leaving Wynward last year.

​​​​​​​Makin Waves Song of the Week: "Keep Movin'" by The Vice Rags

by Bob Makin
published 2023-01-20

It’s great to see the invaluable North Jersey indie Mint 400 Records working with more and more Asbury Park bands. Yawn Mower, Lowlight, The Extensions, and Renee Maskin are among them, but one of the first was The Vice Rags, a good-rockin’ mash-up between the early rock ‘n’ roll of Elvis Presley and Little Richard with the alternative sounds the four members played in previous bands, such as Mars Needs Women, Kid With Man Head, Dibs, Acid, The Blakes, and Readymade Breakup.



Poetic Film Exposed to Each Other screens at the 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Saturday, January 28!

by Claire Apel
published 2023-01-20

Exposed to Each Other is a film by Mersolis Schone and comes to us from Vienna, Austria. This short film is based on a poetic text collage by Marion Steinfellner that brings together a multicultural and multilingual collection of Indian, Japanese, German and Austrian texts by Yuko Kaseki, Savita Rani, Mersolis Schone and Marion Steinfellner. Presented as a kind of film poem, the common thread of these texts is touch and touching which are presented as journeys and how interpersonal, intercultural encounters connect us to each other across the world. This is the fundamental question at the heart of Exposed to Each Other - How are we connected to each other? - and each scene propels us further on a multi-faceted journey exploring this idea.
