Shown are various stills from films shown at this years Princeton Film & Video Festival held at thePrinceton Public Library on July 18 and 19. The festival screened short dramas, comedies, documen-taries, animated and experimental films made by youth ages 14-25 from the Princeton area and beyond.

Annual festival showcasesstudent films and videos

By JULIE STIPEThe Princeton Sun

On July 18 and 19 in the Prince-ton Public Library, buddingyoung filmmakers from as nearbyas Princeton High School and asfar away as Hong Kong had achance to show off their work atthe ninth annual Princeton Stu-dent Film & Video Festival.

Twenty-five films were shownover two nights at the festival,which drew entries from the Unit-

ed Kingdom, Belgium, Ireland,Romania and across the United

States. The festival shows filmsmade by those ages 14-25.

In the festivals first year in2004, said Princeton LibraryYouth Services Team LeaderSusan Conlon, 10 films were sub-mitted, and all 10 were shown.This year, the festival received 104submissions, Conlon said, out ofwhich 25 were chosen to beshown.

Conlon said she watches every

film, and, together with a groupof staff members and volunteers,

chooses films based on how well-made they are technically, and,more importantly, how well theytell a story.

Wheres the story, what arethey trying to say, Conlon said.Thats probably the most impor-tant factor.

Conlon said she aims for a di-verse lineup of films that mixes

On Tuesday, July 17, to theirdismay, employees at Landau, afamily-owned shop selling woolproducts, discovered that Lindiwas missing.

The famous taxidermied Ice-landic ram usually found on the

Nassau sidewalk outside of thestore is taken out in the morning,Landau owner Robert Landausaid, and dragged back in atnight.

Landau said he assumes some-one absconded with the ram dur-ing the day on the 16th. Employ-ees didnt miss the ram duringclosing that night, as they all sup-posed he had already been moved

inside.Everyone thought someone

else had brought him in, Landausaid.

As of last week, Lindi had notbeen found, and Princeton Bor-ough Police Lieutenant SharonPapp said that although policehave no leads at the moment, thematter is being investigated.

We do have an active investi-

gation going on, Papp said.This is not the first time Lindi

has gone missing.He was abducted 15 years

ago, Landau said.That time, the theft was deter-

mined to have been the work ofstudents at The College of NewJersey, who took the ram as a

Council puts businessrezoning on the table


To the relief of the businesscommunity, borough councilvoted on Tuesday, July 24, to in-troduce an ordinance amendingthe zoning in the service business(SB) zone on Nassau Street, eastof Olden Street.

Discussions over what kinds ofbusinesses should be allowed aspart of the rezoning have been

ongoing for months as councilmembers struggled to reconcilethe needs of the business commu-nity with the desires of residents.

Some council members hopedthe rezoning could create astreetscape that would approachthe liveliness and variety of thePalmer Square area and wouldbetter mirror the mix of smallbusinesses on the opposite side of

the street.It could theoretically become

lively like downtown, council-woman Barbara Trelstad said.

Owners of property in the zonedisagreed, as did borough plan-ning director Lee Solow.

Candidly, this is not a strongretail area; this is not like thedowntown, Solow said.

Changes to the ordinance madesince the last meeting were to addlaundromats and art workshops

as permitted uses, to forbid out-door dining at restaurants adja-cent to residential properties, tolimit non-residential spaces to5,000 square feet, and to ask thatstorefronts be designed to appearno more than 40 feet in width.

The biggest stumbling blockhas been whether to allow banks

prank.They had him in their dormi-

tory as a conversation piece,Landau said.

Landau said it seems most like-ly that the theft is another prankof some sort, as Lindi is of morevalue to himself and the storethan anyone else.

Its really not the kind ofthing somebodys going to stealbecause it has a lot of value,

Landau said.The ram would also be difficult

to transport, Landau said. Lindi

weighs over 100 pounds andwould have to be rolled away andthen lifted into a truck of somekind.

You couldnt lift him up andrun away with him, Landausaid.

Lindi was insured for theamount it would cost to replacehim, Landau said, although headded he doesnt know how muchthat would be. Having the ramstuffed and sent to Princetonfrom Iceland cost around $10,000back in the 1970s, Landau said.

At the time, Landau said, thestore was looking to have an Ice-

landic sheep of Lindis breedstuffed and sent over, as the storewas selling a lot of products made

from that particular kind of wool.Landau had decided Lindi

would be a perfect fit for the storeafter hearing that he had twicewon a beauty contest for rams inIceland.

Its like a Miss America con-test for rams, Landau said.

Landau had to wait a couple ofyears for Lindi to die, he said, be-fore he could be stuffed andshipped to Landau of Princeton,which has been his home for 36years.

Landau said hes optimisticabout getting the ram back, andhas told his insurers he wants to

wait to see if Lindi shows up.A new one wouldnt be quite

the same, Landau said.

Its hard to believe, but a new school

year is almost upon us. In a few

short weeks, schools open.

But what will be different about this

school year?

Were going to find out. Right now,

our reporters are compiling lists of

questions for school leaders about thenew school year.

Are there new classes students and

parents need to know about?

How about scheduling changes?

Was any work done at the schools

over the summer?

If your school district switched its

annual election to November, well ask

if there will be any noticeable impact

on the schools.

Generally, well be asking school

leaders to tell us about things that

you parents, taxpayers and students need to know before the 2012-13 school

year begins.

Then, we will pass that information

along to you.

Do you have any questions youd like

our reporters to ask? If so, the time to

act is now.

Maybe you are concerned about the

budget (who isnt?). Or maybe youve

heard about a new program that you

think might be ideal for your child. Or

perhaps you are wondering about re-

pairs that were scheduled for your

childs school.

Wed love to get those questions from

you. Just send an email to us so that we

can include them on our lists.

Most school districts have done a lot

in recent years to be more responsive

to questions submitted by the public. Itmakes sense. Everyone wants to have

great schools. Everyone wants to keep

taxes as low as possible, while still pro-

viding great service. One of the best

ways to achieve these goals is to build a

true public-private partnership be-

tween schools and the communities

they serve. And building that relation-

ship starts with effective communica-

tion.

So send us your questions. Well do

our best to get answers.

in our opinion

Ready for school?Its August, so school doors open in only a few weeks

Any questions?

We are tracking down school leaders toask them questions about the upcom-ing school year. So whats on yourmind? Send us your questions, andwell do our best to get answers.

and other financial institutions in the area,and, if so, how to restrict them. Under cur-rent zoning, banks are not permitted, butowners of properties in the zone have ar-gued that banks are solid tenants needed toanchor properties and allow them to ac-cept smaller, potentially less reliable ten-ants like restaurants and mom-and-popstores. However, council members andmany residents feared too many bankswould create a uniform streetscape and

would not enliven the area like retail andrestaurants would.

Princeton resident Martin Schneider-man told council during the meeting thatresidents of Princeton dont want to see astretch of banks, real estate offices and in-

surance companies along the street.It would provide none of the vitality

were talking about, Schneiderman said.

Zoning that would allow banks and simi-lar institutions, Schniederman said, wouldignore the importance of other kinds of es-tablishments to residents.

During a previous meeting, counciladded language to the ordinance restrict-ing banks to within 500 feet of each otherin the zone, but during the July 24 meeting,business owners argued that this would beunfair, giving an advantage to whicheverproperty owner could sign a bank as a ten-ant first.

Service business zone property ownersproposed other ideas for restricting banks.

Hugh Connelly, an architect for theCarnevale family, owners of a property inthe zone, told council that limiting a bankto 50 percent of the storefront of a buildingwas a fairer and more flexible way of re-stricting banks.

It will give the vitality youre seekingbut be flexible, Connelly said.

Council members, however, balked at

the idea, pointing out that it could allow abank to be placed on each property in thezone.

Jeffrey Albert, owner of 253 NassauStreet known to most as the Prudentialbuilding warned council that limitationscould come at a cost.

I would caution council not to restrictthe area into complete inutility, Albertsaid.

Robert Bratman, owner of 259 NassauStreet, told council that numerous tenants,including a Wawa and a Wild Oats, havecome and gone from the zone, and said his

property, formerly West Coast Video, hasbeen vacant for six or seven years.

Clearly the economy is struggling,Bratman said. Its very difficult to find a

comedies, dramas, animated andexperimental films to showcase avariety of styles and talent. Thisyear, Conlon said, the festival re-ceived many excellent submis-sions, particularly in the comedygenre.

We had very strong comediesthis year, said Conlon. Every-thing was just strong this year.

The festival, which isnt juried

it is meant as a showcase, not acompetition began with a groupof local high school students whowere very interested in film. Con-lon worked with the students toput on two film series a year, eachof which centered around a spe-cific theme.

The theme of one series wasfirst takes, which featured theearly works of directors who laterbecame famous. The seriesprompted the students to thinkabout their own work.

One student said, can wehave a night where we show ourfilms? Conlon said.

Conlon agreed, and the festivalwas born. Over the course of itsnine years, Conlon said, the festi-val has shown 171 films by highschool students, college students,students in graduate programsand some who are not in school atall.

Many, Conlon said, are in filmprograms in college or are in high

school with the intent of pursu-ing a career in film. A few are al-ready pursuing careers in film.

Hannah Epstein is one of

these. Epstein, a recent graduateof Middlebury College, where shestudied film, recently accepted aninternship with the cinematogra-phy department of NFL Films.

Epsteins interest in film grewout of an initial interest in pho-tography, Epstein said, duringher time as a high school studentat Princeton Day School, whereshe took a number of photogra-phy classes.

That just really got me inter-

ested in visual art and images,Epstein said.She began experimenting with

video on her own, and enteredcollege with the idea of possiblypursuing film as a major. Duringher time at Middlebury, Epsteinsaid, she did a semester abroad inIreland, where she saw a film thatinspired her Princeton Film Fes-tival entry.

The film was Undressing MyMother, a short documentary byIrish filmmaker Ken Wardrop

which films Wardrops mothertalking about her aging body andhow it reflects her experiencesand memories.

The documentarys personaland open discussion of a some-times difficult topic inspired Ep-stein to shoot a documentaryabout her own mothers battlewith cancer, called two years,five months & six days.

Epstein said that since she wasin college during the time her

mother was sick with cancer, shefelt disconnected from her moth-ers experiences. And since shehas difficulty talking about hard

subjects, making a documentaryon her mother gave Epstein a wayto approach the topic.

It sounds cheesy, but the cam-era sort of gave me something tohide behind, Epstein said.

The result is a beautifullyfilmed portrait that focuses on thepositive aspect of being a cancersurvivor, but also touches on emo-tional memories and the possibil-ity that the ordeal is not over.

Although Epstein has worked

on every aspect of filmmakingduring her time in school, herpassion is the visual aspect offilm, and her dream job is to workas a director of photography.

I want to be involved with thephotography aspect of it morethan anything, Epstein said.

Following the showing of Ep-steins documentary at the festi-val on July 19 was a very differentdocumentary from Epsteins,

made by twin brothers withPrinceton roots.

Bob and Sam Venanzi attendedPrinceton High School and began

making movies, documentaries,and music videos while still inhigh school. The brothers begantheir career with a zombie horrorflick made with friends while inhigh school, and the two werealso involved in filming an unoffi-cial music video to the Survivorsong Eye of the Tiger, which re-ceived more than 4 million viewson YouTube before being re-moved for copyright reasons.

The brothers latest venture,

called Out of the Basement,documents the undergroundmusic scene in New Brunswick,focusing on The Alamo, a sub-urban basement hosting perform-ances by local and national punkand metal bands.

Though a college town withmany local bands and music en-thusiasts, New Brunswick hasfew venues for performances

The basement music scene is

obscure, and Bob Venanzi saidhis familiarity with it is throughfriends from middle and highschool.

I just kind of know these peo-ple who have this crazy house,Venanzi said.

Venanzi and his brother shotabout 50 hours of footage to cre-ate the 16 minute film, which doc-umented basement performancesof bands like Thou, Captive, De-throned Emperor, and Grass isGreen, and explored the under-ground culture created by thebasement venues.

The locations of the basements

are unadvertised, Venanzi said, toavoid being noticed by police,who often shut down the perform-ances for noise violations. In theyear he spent filming The Alamo,Venanzi said he never had a run-in with police, though he joked itwould have made for an excitingaddition to the film.

I was waiting for the cops tocome, so I could document that,Venanzi said.
