Colorado Film Society Hosts "World Cinema Day,"
Free Film Program for Students during In-Service Day - Nov. 25th
The Colorado Film Society, the non-profit organization that produces the Boulder International Film Festival,will conduct its
"World Cinema Day," for students aged 13-18 on Tuesday, November 25th, a no-school day due to teacher in-service meetings.
The November 25th "
World Cinema Day," which will be held at the Boulder Public Library Auditorium at 1000 Canyon Blvd., from 1pm - 3:0- pm, will include the following:
· A screening of the film
"Beauty Mark" (76 minutes), the Colorado film by Diane Israel.
Beauty Mark is for anyone who has ever felt invisible because they didn't conform to our culture's impossible, unhealthy, abnormal beauty standards. This courageous film examines popular culture's toxic emphasis on weight and looks through the eyes of Boulder-based psychotherapist and former world-class triathlete Diane Israel-- who tells her own story while interviewing other champion athletes, body builders, fashion models and inner-city teens about their experiences relating to self-image.
· A Q & A with Diane Israel, who will speak about the making of the film and her experience with her body image, will follow the film.
There is no cost for students to attend, and seating will be available on a "first come/first served" basis. CFS staff will be present at the screening.
The Colorado Film Society is a non-profit organization that produces the Boulder International Film Festival.
