For many, art in its various forms serves as an invaluable way of expression. These artworks are embedded with their creator’s thoughts, ideas, and beliefs, captivating audiences and other artists alike. The impression these works leave on audiences is immeasurable and sometimes leads to them reflecting on the pieces in their work. This is the case for Marieli Frölich’s What is Happening? Art In the Life of Gertie Frölich and Christopher Wiersema’s Rough Blazing Star, two films that examine other works and create an entirely new visually stunning and meditative take on the pieces using specific cinematography and editing techniques. Both films will be screening at the Fall 2024 New Jersey Film Festival.

Partially autobiographical, this film tells the story of a long-distance couple’s reunion on a half-business-half-travel trip. In the exotic land of Sri Lanka, Ben, who comically lands with a gigantic Toblerone chocolate bar, and Suzanne, his long-distance girlfriend who works for an NGO organization, rediscover, reconnect, and redirect their relationship as they encounter awkward intimacy, comical dilemmas, and inevitable disagreements and redraw their individual lifelines. “Complicated?”
