Film Screening—”Sheila & Joe”

Join ICP for a special screening of the short film “Sheila & Joe,” followed by a conversation with the filmmakers, director Julie Winokur and cinematographer Ed Kashi, and the subjects of the film, Sheila Rule and Joe Robinson.

“Sheila & Joe” is a love story that unfolds behind bars. This story is told through hundreds of letters shared by Sheila Rule, a former  New York Times  correspondent, and Joe Robinson, a man serving a prison sentence of 25 years to life. Despite a 20 year age difference, and undeterred by the physical barriers of prison, their love has unstoppable momentum. Intimate and nuanced, this short film visits the space between compassion and passion, revealing a man who transcends his crime and a woman who dares to break the rules.

Sheila & Joe premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival in 2021 and received an award for Documentary Daily Life from Pictures of the Year International 2021. The film was  published on NPR’s The Picture Show  in 2021.

ICP requires that all museum visitors show proof of vaccination upon entry and must wear a mask while on the premises. For more information about how we’re welcoming you back safely, read our updated Visitor Information and Accessibility guidelines and policies.
