>From acclaimed writer/director Miranda July comes a profoundly moving and wildly original comedy.

During a desperate, hastily conceived heist, they charm a stranger (Gina Rodriguez) into joining their next scam, only to have their entire world turned upside down. 

Directed by Miranda July 
Rated R 
Running time 106 minutes

---We're Keeping You Safe At the Avon Cinema--- 

Following the CDC and state and local guidelines, we have instituted new procedures to keep everyone safe. 

Many seats and rows have been closed to ensure proper spacing between guests. Seats that are available are easily identified with white tape at the top of the seat back. No one will be directly in front of or in back of another person. Two people arriving together may sit together. If someone comes alone, they may not sit next to another person who came alone. 

Guests buying tickets will notice tape on the floor at 6 foot intervals leading up to the box office. There are decals on the lobby floor at 6 foot intervals that lead up to the concession stand and the auditorium. 

If you are paying with a credit card, our terminal is now accessible to you. Our cashier will prompt you when to insert or remove your card. You may also tear your receipt directly from the credit card machine. You may also pay with cash. 

At the end of each show, we clean and sanitize the theatre (including seats, armrests, counters, bathrooms, door handles, hand rails, etc.) before admitting people in for the next show. 

Face masks are worn at all times except while you are sitting in the auditorium. Remember to wear your face mask to exit after the show. 

We look forward to seeing all of you again! 

 Please Note: 
 Film dates and showtimes are subject to change. To confirm call 401-421-AVON (or 401-421-3315) for Film Titles and Showtimes.

| Hello Friends, 
As RISD classes begin, we want to take a moment to update you and other museum members, donors, and friends of our plans. Given the importance of a safe and successful launch of the fall semester, we are taking a phased approach to reopening. In this first phase, we are accessible exclusively to RISD students, faculty, and staff beginning September 17. While we celebrate the reopening of major museums across the country, we believe initially limiting access to the RISD community is the best course of action we can take to ensure a smooth and safe reopening to you and the general public at a later date.
We miss our friends and are keen to welcome you back into the galleries. Until we can safely do so, museum staff continue to find innovative and meaningful ways to engage audiences. See what we have in store this fall and check out the museum calendar for updates on the latest programming.  |

| Manual 14: Shadows |

 |

| 
| The RISD Museum’s fourteenth issue of Manual shines a light on the shadow, centering the Black body as a site of possibility, liberatory self-awareness, radical non-conformity, and joyful defiance. This issue serves as a companion to the exhibition Defying the Shadow.
Manual 14: Shadows opens with an excerpt on the shadow from W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk, followed by an introduction by Dr. Anita N. Bateman, who elucidates: “Operating in the shadow comes with a legacy of resistance, both in spiritual and ideological forms. |

 |

| 
| 
| 
|  |

 |

 |

 |

| 
| "This anti-visibility is not the same as being invisible, rather it is the power to operate against systems of imperial domination, including the gaze. It asks: How do we force the gaze to surrender? What if explanation were off the table? By enabling a petit marronage that can be expressed in the visual and symbolic use of shadow, the gaze is challenged.
This issue of Manual and the accompanying exhibition (opening at the RISD Museum Fall 2020) posit that the right to opacity de-burdens contemporary work by artists who identify as Black and/or queer and/or feminist and/or non-binary and/or OVER IT—whatever sociocultural constriction “it” signifies. Opacity extends to artists who are simply not interested in explaining themselves or offering the emotional labor that is expended for inclusion. This right says, “I have given enough.” It also legitimizes and reclaims the shadow as a place of refuge, instead of being a place from which to escape."
– Anita N. Bateman |

| Proceeds from sales of this issue are being donated to the RI Solidarity Fund. |
