A Special Screening with Producer/Videographer Courtney Bent

Shooting Beauty tells the inspirational story of an aspiring fashion photographer, Courtney Bent, whose career takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a hidden world of beauty at a center for people with significant disabilities. Shot over the span of a decade, the film puts the viewer in Bent’s shoes as she overcomes her own unspoken prejudices and begins inventing cameras accessible to her new friends. These efforts snowball into an award-winning photography program called “Picture This”—and become the backdrop for an eye-opening story about romance, loss and laughter that will challenge what you thought you knew about living with a disability—and without one.

This program is $10; Museum members get $3 off at the refreshment stand. For more information visit capeanncinema.wordpress.com.
