Montclair Film Festival (May 1-6) will open with a special screening of N.J. comedy, The Oranges, and will also feature live participation by special guests including Kathleen Turner, Olympia Dukakis, Michael Moore, Patrick Wilson and Oliver Platt.

The Oranges, opening in theaters this fall, has an ensemble cast that includes Hugh Laurie, Leighton Meester and Oliver Platt.

Festival directors Raphaela Neihausen and Thom Powers selected films from around the world that would showcase Jersey talent. “The heart of filmmaking beats strongly in Jersey,” said Neihausen. “It’s astonishing when you realize how many talented people were born here or now call the state home.

“We sought to curate a selection that plays to the strengths of Montclair,” said Powers. “That includes a comedy section, a strong interest in African-American stories and an engagement with progressive issues.”
