2 Excellent Documentaries at the Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival Today Sunday, September 28!
Cathy & Harry – Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff (USA) A revealing and humorous double-portrait of Catherine Murphy and Harry Roseman whose work is in collections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Metropolitan Transit Authority. Cathy & Harry documents how their lives revolve in joyous, dizzying intensity around work, food, friends, and each other. 2025; 45 min.
Bob & Hazel: Bound by Love, Divided by Color – Lara Firestone (Santa Barbara, California) Bob & Hazel is a powerful documentary about a 60-year interracial love story that defied the racial boundaries of 1960s America, overcoming relentless challenges of bigotry, war, and societal rejection. What do Atlantic City, New Jersey; Fort Hood, Texas; and Vietnam have in common? Each of these iconic places—steeped in history and struggle—challenged Bob and Hazel Levy in their journey together. But their love was unbreakable. 2024; 56 min.
