As part of its year-long Centennial celebration, the Newark Museum has commissioned the award-winning, Newark-based filmmakers Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno and Jerome Bongiorno to create a film about Newark.
Shot in black-and-white and filmed in 3D, the film—presented as a large-scale projection in the darkened space of the Museum’s South gallery—is a moving and immersive experience that provides visitors with a feeling of actually being in the places depicted. Many areas documented in the film, like Military Park or the grand Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, may be familiar, but the unusual vantage points and camera angles employed provide a new experience of these landmarks. The Bongiornos have also highlighted “hidden gems” within the city, sites that many visitors and even residents may not know exist.
