he Kinks, a legendary rock band from the 1960s and 1970s, could not have envisioned Jersey City when they sang “everybody’s in show biz,” but they might as well have. In its ninth year, the Golden Door International Film Festival (GDIFF) will screen nearly 200 films at various venues around Jersey City over a four-day period from Sept. 19 to 22. While many people know about film festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival, traditionally held in January, and Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Film Festival in April, GDIFF is held each year in the fall. These four days will be packed with independent films from veteran and emerging filmmakers. Like most film festivals, Golden Door will showcase feature-length movies and film shorts that lack major distribution and thus aren’t likely to be shown in mall cinemas. But what these films lack in distribution and exposure, they make up in content, exploring visual techniques and themes major films won’t. See page 7
