film
Lighthouse International Film Society presents a screening of "Sweet Disaster" (LONG BEACH ISLAND, NJ) -- On Friday, September 16 at 7:30pm, the Lighthouse International Film Society presents a screening of Sweet Disaster. The film starts with a pair of strangers hooking up at an airport bar, and ends months later with the birth of their child. But it’s the stuff in-between which distinguishes this German film from the fluff you ordinarily see in 21st century romcoms. The award-winning German “dramedy” shows a light touch with mature topics.
The Sun Rises in the East screens at the Fall 2022 New Jersey Film Festival this Friday The Sun Rises in the East by Tayo Giwa is a rich and heart-felt film about how the black community in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn, New York) created the most incredible haven for self-expression, education, and additional provision called The East. The story of The East starts with the beginning of integration in Bed-Stuy after Brown v. Board of Education was passed in 1954. Despite the ruling, unfair conditions persisted for black youth and community members recognized a dire need for more enrichment. Jitu Weusi, Al Vann, and other pivotal members of the community proposed having a hub for creativity and education where needs and resources to excel in every aspect of life would be created. This institution would also celebrate the entire African diaspora and different African cultures within the continent. The Sun Rises in the East is a wonderfully enriching experience that truly magnifies what happens when great care is married with fantastic ideas to make a utopia that fostered the prosperity of an entire generation.
