Jersey City Documentary
categories: Art
“Five-Finger Discount” is a documentary based on the national bestselling memoir about Jersey City by Helene Stapinski.
The saga chronicles the journey of a family – and of Jersey City itself – from a criminal and corrupt past to a reinvented and revitalized present, told from the unique perspective of a working-class woman who lived it.
You can learn more about the film, the book on which it’s based, and even see a short video sample here. Help them make this documentary a possibility by donating to their Kickstarter campaign here.

An Evening of Art Song 11/9/14
Con Vivo celebrates an evening of song this Sunday at St. Paul Lutheran Church (440 Hoboken Ave., Jersey City) at 5pm.
Con Vivo will celebrate the art song with mezzo-soprano Sarah Nelson Craft and pianist Paul Vasile! This varied and beautiful program includes music by Benjamin Britten, Claude Debussy, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Franz Schubert, and George Gershwin.
Ms. Craft has performed at the Caramoor Festival, Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, China’s Macau International Music Festival, with the New Jersey Festival Orchetra, on NPR’s This American Live live at BAM, and more. We’re excited to have her performing for Con Vivo before she travels to Paris to participate in “The Song Continues: Paris Residency” presented by Carnegie Hall at the Opéra Bastille.
Mr. Vasile’s wide-ranging talents and musical interests provide frequent opportunities to perform as a pianist, conductor and concert organist. He has performed in his own recitals of American Romantic organ music in Germany, Latvia and in New York City, including several performances on the historic Appleton pipe organ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
To aural pleasure,
