KINO is a film society based atop Maker Heights, screening films within the community’s own Patchwork Studios venue. Each year, we share a broad range of exciting films, focussing on releases that represent provoking and impressive accomplishments (as well as cult fandom) from all over the world. We set out to support the culture of cinema within our community, seeing a value in the shared experience of watching and discussing films in-person.

Outrage
(dir. Ida Lupino, 1950)

“Outrage,” Lupino’s third feature, is the story of Ann Walton (Mala Powers), a young, recently engaged bookkeeper in a small Midwestern town. After working late one night, Ann is stalked and assaulted by a man (Albert Mellen) who runs a food truck at the plant where she’s employed. The rest of the film examines the effects of the attack on Ann. Produced during the period of the “Hays Code” – from the 1930s to the 1960s – which censored Hollywood films for what was deemed “unsuitable,” “Outrage” manages to just barely stay within its parameters. For example, the initial attack on Ann is not shown on screen, and the word describing her sexual attack is never spoken, referred to only as a “criminal assault.”
