PROGRAM

ROLEPLAY is a feature documentary that follows a group of college students as they confront sexual violence on their campus through a transformative theater process. This urgent coming-of-age story follows young adults grappling with sex, consent, identity, and power on their paths to adulthood. The film follows this process with a lyrical lens, blurring the lines between reality and performance, moving between verite of campus life and the confessional vulnerability of the rehearsal room. Posing urgent questions about the toxic legacies imparted on the next generation, Roleplay explores the roles we play as we grow into who we are: how they hurt us, heal us, and shape who we become.

The screening will be followed by a Q+A with Director Katie Mathews, Producer Jenny Mercein, and 2 students involved in the creation of the play and film.
