Beyond the Gaze: Jill Campbell’s Swimsuit Issue to Premiere at Newport Beach Film Festival on October 23
On Wednesday, Oct 23rd at 8 p.m., The Newport Beach Film Festival will present Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell's Swimsuit Issue, an extraordinary documentary directed by Jill Campbell, the daughter-in-law of Jule Campbell.
In the 1960s, Jule Campbell revolutionized the world of media, transforming the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue into a cultural powerhouse. This documentary chronicles her 32-year tenure, during which she broke barriers, championed intelligence, and empowered the rise of supermodels. The film thoughtfully explores the evolving narrative on beauty, from objectification to body positivity, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of feminism and media. Featuring intimate interviews with the 95-year-old Campbell, Beyond the Gaze is a stunning portrait of a legacy that continues to inspire.
After the screening, stay for a special Q&A with supermodels Cheryl Tiegs, Paulina Porizkova, Natalie Mariduena, Roshumba Williams, and Stacey Williams, alongside Director Jill Campbell. The discussion will be moderated by Diana McBride.
