The Featherweight screens at the 2024 New Jersey International Film Festival on Saturday, June 1, 2024 – Online for 24 Hours and In-Person at 7PM! in Voorhees Hall #105/Rutgers University, 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ.

The Featherweight – Robert Kolodny (Brooklyn, New York) Set in the mid-1960s, The Featherweight presents a gripping chapter in the true-life story of Italian-American boxer Willie Pep—the winningest fighter of all time—who, down and out in his mid-40s and with his personal life in shambles, decides to make a return to the ring, at which point a documentary camera crew enters his life. Painstakingly researched and constructed, the film is a visceral portrait of the discontents of twentieth-century American masculinity, fame and self-perception. 2023; 99 min.

The Rutgers Film Co-op/New Jersey Media Arts Center, in association with the Rutgers University Program in Cinema Studies, presents the 2024 New Jersey International Film Festival which marks its 29th Anniversary.
