newportFILM Summer Screenings Continue

NewportFILM will continue its effort to connect audiences "from the comfort of their favorite spots in and around Newport" this week.

The organization is hosting its third outdoor screening of the summer, "Teen Paparazzo," at Ballard Park this Thursday starting at dusk. Directed by Adrien Grenier (of HBO's Entourage fame), the film follows the life of 13-year-old paparazzo Austin Visschedk. The film came about after Visschedk snapped a photo of Grenier, inspiring the actor to turn the camera on the teen and track his life, as the two become friends in the frenzy of Hollywood.

Another screening has also been scheduled for August 17 at the Jane Pickens Theater. Entitled "The Art of the Steal," that film "chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art valued at more than $25 billion." Director Don Argott and Producer Sheena M. Joyce are expected to participate in a Q&A after that screening.

In July, newportFILM screened two films—"Nowhere Boy" and "No Impact Man"—both to sold out audiences.

Registration is open now for those who want to attend the next two. For more details, go here.
