Rain Moves newportFILM Screening Indoors

The final outdoor film of the newportFILM’s summer series has been moved indoors due to the threat of downpours.

The screening of “The Mask You Live In” is still on and doors at Casino Theater at 9 Freebody Street will open at 6 p.m. with pre-film music by Sarah Daigle.

The film itself will be shown at 7:15 p.m. followed by a discussion with members of the Ten Men program. Jessica Walsh of Women’s Resource Center will moderate.

“The Mask You Live In” is a powerful documentary that follows boys and young men as they try to define themselves in a world with narrow definitions of masculinity.

“Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence,” the film’s liner notes state.

The film was directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
