Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell's Swimsuit Issue (2024)

In the 1960s, magazine editor Jule Campbell shattered glass ceilings and transformed a struggling magazine into a media empire with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Over her 32-year reign, she championed intelligence, fought sexism, and empowered supermodels like Tyra Banks and Christie Brinkley.

Explore the changing gaze from objectification to body positivity and witness a legacy that continues to inspire. From Tribeca Films.

Join our Monthly Film Club

Each month, we invite you to the library to enjoy outstanding films from around the world. Our Film Club is the perfect way to discover powerful stories, unique voices and cinematic treasures — all while connecting with fellow film lovers.

Watching films is even more rewarding when you can share your thoughts and hear different perspectives. After each screening, stay for an informal chat where you can discuss the film, exchange ideas and explore new ways of seeing the world through cinema.

Sign up for our monthly adult newsletters and you will get links to book our film screenings direct to your inbox each month.

Please Note: These screenings do not run during school holidays.

Looking for more? Our collection includes a large selection of Criterion Films, as well as thousands of international films and documentaries available to borrow on DVD or stream anytime via our digital platforms, Beamafilm and Kanopy.

Whether you're a lifelong film buff or just looking for something new, our Film Club is a welcoming space to experience and talk about cinema with others who share your passion.
