Two amazing shorts screen at Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 7!

One of the most interesting facets of art is how different artists can choose to represent the same themes based on their experiences in feelings. Oftentimes, subjects or ideas can manifest in different ways for certain artists, creating differences in how they depict them. One may represent a subject through a faster-moving and vibrant work, while another may portray it as gloomy and stoic.  Despite these two depictions being vastly different, they both represent the subject and how the artist connects and views it. Two great examples of this contrast of portrayals within the theme of loss are Martin Gerigk’s Prayer of the Sea and Sasha Alexander Vorobyev’s What a Surprise. These works differ greatly in their story and look, but both experiment with color and shot size to explore the complex theme of loss.

An entrancing watch, Anima Magia by Al Nigrin has an opinion. Its rhythms of animal and fatal urges tell a tale of two witches coming into their own, transforming their power and pain into magical will. Images flicking and transferring to other images create a determinant effect of time’s unstoppable movement.

Striking cinematography, compelling editing, and palpable emotions sprung to life by a sensational string quartet– this just begins to describe the incredibly placid, yet all consuming, Prayer of the Sea. Born from a dream, coming from the mind of the wonderfully talented composer and creator of the short film, Martin Gerigk, this immersive short explores the beautiful rawness of one passing away in a state of complete and utter peace– taking the universal fear out of an inescapable experience.
