It’s A to Z: The Art of Arleen Schloss gets its Statewide Premiere at the New Jersey Film Festival

by Morgan Kalmbach
published 2025-01-15

Documentary filmmaking is incredibly unique in that it immerses not only the audience in its subject matter but also its filmmaker in the process of creating the film. From spending countless hours researching, compiling, and shooting interviews and creating an overall storyline, every step of the way, the filmmaker is involved and learning as the progression ensues. The challenge then becomes how much this filmmaker can include of their newly learned knowledge about the subject and what the best way to shed light on this subject that they have studied is. Stuart Ginsberg’s It’s A to Z: The Art of Arleen Schloss exemplifies this challenge and is greatly successful in how it was overcome. Although the film only runs for an hour, it encompasses decades of information surrounding Arleen Schloss, a notable multimedia artist in the New York City underground art scene in the 70s through the 90s.




 

Masterful short Supercritical screens at the New Jersey Film Festival on Saturday, January 25, 2025

by Yuri Kim
published 2025-01-14

“We have just learned of a massive release of nuclear warheads, authorized by the United States.” Those are the grim words uttered at the beginning of the short Supercritical. Heightening our anxiety (and our blood pressure), the stakes continue to stack, as we see names and faces being crossed out in red, and radio static cutting into the broadcast as the sound of sirens close in on us. Heavy sighs are emitted, temples are rubbed, and we see a lone scientist stooping over a tape recorder with a defeated look in her eyes.

Great short Chicken Broth Soup screens at the New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 24, 2025

by Yuri Kim
published 2025-01-12

It all starts with the buzzing of a fly. A woman with a cut on her lip stands crying while waiting in a hallway to see the body of her dead husband. The architecture surrounding her is uninviting. The coloring of the world is bleak, cold. The characters around her are careless and dismissive - a disinterested prosecutor who’s too preoccupied with his own phone calls, and a straight-faced doctor who clinically goes through the motions, step by step. What is the right thing to do in a world surrounded by impassion? What is fair? Is there really nothing one can do in a situation so hopeless? Or is that just an excuse to turn a blind eye? Like a persistent, buzzing fly, these questions prod and force us to jolt out of our comfortable seats while watching Chicken Broth Soup - directed and written by Deniz Büyükkırlı, who is known for her previous work on Pretty Little Liars (2015), Brave and Beautiful (2016), and Love Me As I Am (2013).
