NJ

Three films available from the New Jersey Film Festival via video on demand

Driving Lessons - Wartime Kyiv, Ukraine. A father helps his daughter to practice driving. They are the only relatives to each other and have a strong connection, but many disagreements in their opinions. The driving lesson ceases to be ordinary when the father is issued a summons at a checkpoint. Director Anastasiya Gruba



Flirtologist - A teenage girl on a contentious family camping trip attempts to amuse herself with a handsome stranger, but she must learn that her budding sexuality is treacherous, and the war between the sexes eternal. 2024; 28 min. Director Madeline O'Leary



Where's My Coffee Cup? - This film tells the story of John, who, at 64 and still in prison, must navigate trauma and aging in a space that is not designed for a geriatric population. Like others, he faces the challenges of stairs, top bunks, food that is not made for human consumption, and the everyday risks of violence and exploitation. John’s story is a call and a demand for compassion and justice. 2025; 30 min. Director Yehuda Sharim
