Ridgewood April 18, 2012 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 7 ‘Aglow’ will screen at Ridgewood Guild Film Festival The documentary, “Aglow -- Under the Radar: Chojnowski,” directed by Fairleigh Dickinson University Visual and Performing Arts Professor Howard Libov, will be screened at the Ridgewood Guild Festival on Saturday, April 26 at 7:35 p.m. at the Clearview Warner Quad Cinema in Ridgewood. The Clearview Warner Quad Cinema is located at 190 East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood. Libov, who is a resident of Ridgewood, is an accomplished filmmaker, an awardwinning director, a professor of film at FDU, and the assistant dean of FDU’s Becton College of Arts and Sciences. Libov has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, including WorldFest International Independent Film Festival in Houston, Texas, where his feature film, “Favorite Son,” received a Gold Remi Award in drama. “Aglow” is a look at the art of Paul Chojnowski, the nation’s most renowned practitioner of the art of drawing with fire. Chojnowski’s drawing techniques include scorching paper with a blowtorch to craft unique cityscapes and drawings. In February 2010, Chojnowski visited FDU, giving the community the opportunity to witness the artist working at his craft at an event called “Working with Fire.” “Aglow” is the second film in a series by Libov called “Under the Radar.” Each film in the series follows the life of a contemporary working artist in the USA who is recognized in his or her field, but is not considered a celebrity. A sample of “Aglow” is available on YouTube. This film contains brief nudity.
