Kenworthy presents Feature Film Disfluency
September 12 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Join the Kenworthy for the Katy Benoit Campus Safety Forum, a FREE screening of the feature film Disfluency, at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20 at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Theatre in downtown Moscow.
After the film, there will be a panel with the Director of the film, Anna Baumgarten, and campus/community resources that support survivors of power-based violence to discuss themes, questions and more with those who wish to stay.
“Disfluency” is the story of Jane, a college senior who fails her final class before graduation, after being sexually assaulted at a party. She returns to her family’s home and struggles to remember exactly what happened to her. Jane experiences the world through the lens of language – her area of study – and with elements of ASL and linguistics throughout, “Disfluency” asks us to think about consent and how we communicate. Much like the films “Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” that explore trauma, Jane’s story has highs and lows and is wrapped in the warm blanket of a summer coming-of-age film.
