|
Francine Strickwerda, Laurel Spellman Smith, David Poritz, and Hugo Lucitante on their way to the Rhode Island International Film Festival (image source: twitter.com/OilandWaterFilm) “Oil & Water”—the selection for this year’s First Readings program—will be screened at the Rhode Island International Film Festival on Thursday August 7 at 2:30 p.m. in the Metcalf Auditorium at RISD Museum.
The film is a coming-of-age story of two boys (David Poritz and Hugo Lucitante), from different backgrounds, confronting one of the world’s worst toxic disasters. Various scenes in the film were shot at Brown University while David Poritz was an undergrad.
This fall, the directors (Francine Strickwerda and Laurel Spellman Smith) as well as David Poritz and Hugo Lucitante will return to Providence to do a screening and film discussion with the Brown community.
For more information about the First Readings program or about the film, visit the First Readings website.
