Hoboken Digital Film Society Re-launches Film Screening Series
Thursday, May 11th, 2006
 
Time: 8:00 PM
Location: Symposia Bookstore
510 Washington St.
Hoboken, NJ 07030
Map and Directions
Information: The Hoboken Digital Film Society will re-launch its film screening series on Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 8 p.m. with the documentary Galaxy’s End: Revenge of the Myth.Galaxy’s End: Revenge of the Myth was produced and directed by Jeff Cioletti, the new organizer of the film screening series. The documentary focuses on Star Wars fans as they bid farewell to the big-screen film saga.

“Seven years ago, fans were giddy with anticipation for the Prequel trilogy, but now that there aren’t any new theatrical films to look forward to, the mood is considerably more somber,” notes Cioletti. “And it didn’t help that Episodes I to III didn’t live up to some
fans’ unrealistically high expectations. Whether you loved the prequels or hated them, Galaxy’s End: Revenge of the Myth hopefully will offer a little closure at the end of an era.”

The film features original music by acclaimed composer Jim Briggs III.

The Star Wars universe is familiar territory for Cioletti. His first documentary, Millennium’s End: The Fandom Menace chronicled fans’ anticipation for Star Wars Episode I during the two years leading up to its release. It’s only fitting that his new film should cover the aftermath.

“The two films are sort of bookends for the Prequel era,” Cioletti explains.

Additionally, Cioletti co-wrote, co-directed and co-produced the award-winning Star Wars parody trilogy, Silent But Deadly with collaborator Lou Tambone. The first film in the trilogy screened at the Cannes Film Festival last May.

Cioletti’s other films include the documentaries Chronotrip, UnWound and InkSwell.

The Hoboken Digital Film Society screening series will continue at Symposia on a bi-weekly basis. For information on how to submit a film for inclusion, send an e-mail to Jeff Cioletti at jcioletti@fadproductions.com.

Submissions from anywhere in the world are welcome.

Wanderlust Mandalas – Photography by Michaela Potter
Monday, May & June, 2006
 
Location: Symposia Bookstore
510 Washington St.
Hoboken, NJ 07030
Map and Directions
Information: Mandalas, an ancient word for circle, represent wholeness and have been used for millennia in cultures worldwide as a took for self expression, spiritual transformation and personal growth. Wanderlust Mandalas are digital images created with photos from my world travels. Each mandala represents the emotional and spiritual essence I experienced on my various trips and invite the viewer to have their own contemplative experience of my journeys.A portion of the proceeds from Wanderlust Mandalas will go towards art supplies for the non-profit organization – Peru’s Challenge. I will be volunteering with Peru’s Challenge this summer, helping to create opportunities for the children in the Cusco area. Although the region of Cusco is one of the most popular tourist areas in South America, the economic benefits fail to reach the rural communities, of which 75% live in poverty.

All images are printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. 20″x20″ images are framed with museum-style glass.

The exhibition is open from May 1 to June 29
Opening reception: Saturday, June 3, 5pm to 7pm.
