"Achingly beautiful… [a] film about astronomers and humanity and love and the stars… Feels spiritually nourishing in a way few films can manage.” 

NEW YORK TIMES - Critic's Pick

“profoundly beautiful and mesmerizing”

REVERSE SHOT

“wondrous, expansive. A reminder to look up and consider the universe.”

ROGEREBERT.COM

“… places private struggles, politics and the mysteries of the universe on equal footing. ... It is democratic cinema, equally dedicated to physicists and street-corner astronomers. The sky still belongs to all of us..."

SIGHT AND SOUND

Jem's films available on Vimeo on Demand

Jem has been adding films to a Vimeo on Demand page where titles can be "rented" for personal streaming. Please do not use for public/classroom screenings. (For those, see the Distribution link.)
Especially in light of job loss related to the pandemic, it is increasingly important to support artists via renting and buying their work online...

Thank you.
