Posted By admin on June 10, 2020

There may be few places to go, but there certainly are many places to visit online, that is as stay-at-home entertainment choices continue to populate the internet.

The North Jersey-based Visionaries Film Festival has retrofitted its third annual installment to the internet. Visionaries Film Festival: Quarantine Edition" will be streamed on Twitch from Friday, June 12, to Sunday, June 14.

The festival, which last year was held at the Hudson School in Hoboken, is run by 22-year-old Vihan Khanna from Livingston, who graduated from Montclair State University in January.

The free screenings will be 7 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and showcase nearly 40 short films. Started in 2018, the festival accepts films from all but prioritizes films by students and other new filmmakers. Donations are welcomed.

We Dance for Artist Relief Tree, a virtual dance benefit concert, is planned for 8 p.m. Friday, June 12, to raise money for freelance performers out of work because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The effort is being driven by 10 Rutgers University Mason Gross School of the Arts alumni, spearheaded by Olivia Mode-Cater, Class of 2011 and 2012.

The two-hour online concert can be viewed on various Facebook pages (Artist Relief Tree, The Streamlined Studio, Dance ED Tips). It will be hosted by Nick Raynor (Class of 2014), who has toured internationally and recently completed an Off-Broadway run of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish. The show will have 15 guest artists with interviews and a mix of live and pre-produced from-home segments.
