Best of the 2011 New Jersey International Film Festival – Part 2 Melt - Noemie Lafrance (Brooklyn, New York).  Draped in beeswax and lanolin that slowly melts away, the dancers in this experimental performance film progress through euphoria and exhaustion, to escape their ephemeral bodies and disintegrate into light. 2011; 10 min. Winner Best Experimental Film 2011 New Jersey International Film Festival!

Savasana - Gerry Curtis (San Francisco, California).  A young female traveler from southeast Asia wakes up disoriented and covered in dirt in a luxury hotel in San Francisco.  A single note played on a piano in her empty home will reveal the dark secret behind her journey
in this compelling and eerie short film. 2010; 17 min. Winner Best Experimental Film2011 New Jersey International Film Festival!

The Sandman (Der Sandmann) - Peter Luisi (Zürich, Switzerland).  A playfully surreal romantic comedy, The Sandman tells the story of Benno, who works in a postage stamp store and lives above a small coffee shop run by Sandra.  To his infinite woe and unceasing irritation, he is
subjected every night to the atonal music that Sandra plays on her One-Woman-Orchestra machine. One day, however, Benno wakes up to find that his body is literally losing sand and that Sandra alone can help him to figure out his inexplicable condition.  This wonderfully acted and skillfully directed original feature should not be missed.  In German, subtitled. 2011; 98 min.  Winner Best Feature Film 2011 New Jersey International Film Festival!
