The 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival is proud to present an added lecture by acclaimed Landscape Architect and Artist Mitchell Rasor in conjunction with the screening of Tom Bell's short documentary film Salt Marsh. This talk contextualizes Mitchell Rasor's work in the context of Robert Smithson's interest in dialectics, Olmsted's park designs, the relationship between Cezanne and Pissaro and the birth of modern art, post-punk rock, his education at Oberlin and Harvard...and then ends with three recent series of drawings and paintings done this past winter as an extension of the work depicted in Tom Bell's Salt March film. The talk would be of great interest to students of environmental studies, art, art history, landscape architecture, and film. This lecture is part of the NJIFF Short Documentary Program Film Screening. Co-Sponsored by the Rutgers University Office of Summer and Winter Sessions.
