Coming of Age Feature Song of a Dying Summer screens at the 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, February 17!

by Claire Apel
published 2023-02-13

Song of a Dying Summer , directed by Kohei Sengen, follows a group of teenage best friends, Natsu (Takeshi Yoshida), Haru, Fuyu and Aki, as they struggle to put on a stage play to commemorate their last summer together before they go their separate ways. Set and filmed in Japan, Song of a Dying Summer is also shot entirely in 8mm film, giving the feature a nostalgic quality that perfectly captures the bittersweet tone of growing up, coming of age, and saying goodbye to the childhood you once knew. The care imbued in this story is present in every lovingly crafted frame as the languid pace draws in the audience and reminds them of their own hot teenage summers.

Cosmic Film Revelation to the Disembodied screens at the New Jersey Film Festival Friday, February 10!

by Thomas Kozakiewicz
published 2023-02-10

Films that have the cosmic resonance that this work leaves bring about a sense of awe as equal to its sense of importance. Director Andre Silva’s odyssey of a film appears to be an experience from an extraterrestrial force, yet it feels so familiar. Revelation to the Disembodied is an experimental animation work that meditates on the interconnectedness present in our lives with technology, nature, reality, the nature of reality. The film intersects biblical mythology, the story of Adam and Eve, with a present-day framework of humanity and its creation of artificial intelligence. It is a very spiritual work that leaves the viewer with a vast ocean of connected ideas to contemplate as more waves roll onto the shore of the mind. This enigmatic piece deeply moved me, and I was lucky enough to be able to discuss the film with director Andre Silva along with all the ideas and concepts that spring from the core of this work.

Rembrandt Lives in New Jersey Debuts at the 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, February 10!

by Lauren Bromberg
published 2023-02-08

The cleverly titled documentary, Rembrandt Lives in New Jersey, by Kasey Child, presents the artwork and life of an 80+ year-old New Jersey native “etcher” and printmaker, Helen Frank, while paying tribute to 17th century Dutch printmaker, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. We see a snippet of Helen Frank on NJN News in 2010, teaching printing to a group of adults. “What I’m doing is what Rembrandt did. It doesn’t look the same, but it's the same history. I’m holding hands with all the people who have gone before me and fallen in love with this medium,” she says. Although Frank employs the same art techniques as Rembrandt, throughout the documentary Frank illustrates (no pun intended) to viewers that her artwork beautifully reflects her own unique experiences and style.



Funny animation Sucks to be the Moon screens at the 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, February 10!

by Thomas Kozakiewicz
published 2023-02-07

Creators, Eric Paperth and Tyler March, pack loads of humor, creativity, and technical personality into their animated musical Sucks to be the Moon. The film follows the Moon who feels rejected by Earth and all of its inhabitants who express nothing but hatred towards the lunar loner. After living in the sun’s shadow for too long, the moon decides to leave its orbit and venture out into the solar system to find a new home, coming across the rest of the planets in the solar system. The story is incredibly comedic and entertaining, and it feels as if it goes by very fast in the best way possible.
