The Poetry of Testimony: Letters2Maybe Showing at the Spring 2022 New Jersey Film Festival on February 6

by Hannah Vliet
published 2022-02-03

Letters2Maybe, a documentary feature by filmmaker, writer, and poet Yehuda Sharim, will show at the New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, February 6, 2022. This film is a wonderfully wound tapestry of testimonies by immigrants living in the United States. People of varying ages, genders, and ethnicities speak about their experiences, trying to give shape to difficult questions: What does it mean to no longer have access to your homeland? What is the process of becoming disillusioned with the American Dream?  How can community serve as support, solace, and strength in the face of injustice? 



Our Favorite Stories In Film - Death of an Umbrella Salesman

New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate.  One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years.  We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres.  Every Wednesday will feature a story about film.  This week's choice is our feature on Death of an Umbrella Salesman by Jersey Shore filmmaker Steve Herold.

Peter Luisi’s Princess to screen at the 2022 New Jersey Film Festival on February 4

published 2022-02-01

“You were my princess, my muse. The reason every Knight needs to get on his horse…” You don’t immediately notice how extraordinary Peter Luisi’s Princess is in the initial minutes of its runtime. Josef (Fabian Kruger) is an alcoholic man carrying out a solitary sentence of his own choosing – his eyes display tremendous sorrow of a terrible past as he spends his days drinking and his hands quiver as he incoherently rambles to assure himself that he’s doing well. Interrupting these string of nights is the arrival of Josef’s half sister Karin, a single mother working tirelessly to provide for her four year old daughter and who comes bearing the news of their mother’s death. With Karin struggling with her finances and nowhere else to turn to, Josef reluctantly agrees to let them move into the same building, maintaining a cautious distance from his new neighbors.
