Compelling documentary The Shoshani Riddle screens at the 2026 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, February 1!

by Jack Bolton
published 2026-01-31
In the twentieth century, there lived a brilliant polymath who wandered the world, a vagabond of immense intellect who taught the likes of Emmanuel Levinas and Elie Wiesel. He was a master of many studies, from theology and philosophy to mathematics and the sciences. His name, while debated among those who know of his existence, is unknown to the world; he known only as Mr. Shoshani. While working on a different film, Director Michael Grynszpan happened to learn of this enigma of a man. As interest turns into obsession, Gryszpan spends a decade of his life trying to unravel the mystery of Shoshani’s life in The Shoshani Riddle.

New Release Review - "Mercy"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2026-01-31
Over the past decade, producer/director Timur Bekmambetov's name has become synonymous with the "screenlife" sub-genre. For those who are unaware, screenlife movies play out their narratives on the screens of laptops, tablets, phones and similar devices. Watching someone's desktop for 90 minutes may not sound too exciting but the format has proved surprisingly successful in thrillers like Unfriended, Searching and Profile. Much like the American horror movies of the 1970s took the genre out of its traditional Gothic setting of European castles and transferred it to the US suburbs, screenlife thrillers have a relatable immediacy, their thrills playing out on the sort of screens we stare at every day.

Sun Ra: Do The Impossible screens at the New Jersey Film Festival tonight!

by Al Nigrin
published 2026-01-30
Sun Ra: Do The Impossible, a feature length documentary by Christine Turner, is a cosmic journey into the life and work of the visionary jazz musician, composer and poet, Sun Ra. Poet, philosopher, Egyptologist, bandleader. Jazz visionary Sun Ra was all of these—and more. With his ever-evolving band the Sun Ra Arkestra, he produced more than 200 albums, stretching the boundaries of free-form jazz while weaving ancient Egypt, interstellar metaphors, and scientific musings into a singular musical and spiritual vision of Afrofuturism that continues to reverberate across generations. Director Christine Turner takes us on an illuminating journey through the life of this multi-faceted artist, gracefully balancing recollections from the Arkestra’s still-devout band members and dancers with insightful interviews from music scholars, and unforgettable film and performance footage of Sun Ra himself. The result is a portrait—informative, inspiring, and mind-bending—of a man whose audacious vision, otherworldly imagination, and uncompromising artistry helped shape not only the sound of jazz, but the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond.
