BRADES, Montserrat – The Montserrat Cultural Centre in collaboration with goldenmedia Montserrat will be hosting the premiere of The Skin, Friday July 8 and 9.

‘The Skin’ is a modern story filled with Caribbean folklore about Michael and Lisa (Brent Simon & Aisha Ralph) who are a young married couple on the verge of losing their home. Their luck changes when Michael, while on a photo-shoot at the historic Betty’s Hope Estate discovers an ancient vase and sells it to an antique dealer (Jeff Stewart).

The couple gets little time to celebrate their good fortune before strange things begin to happen. They are introduced to a Jamaican mystic (Carl Bradshaw) who informs them that the ancient relic was not really a blessing but a curse.

Screenings will be held at 7pm and 9:30pm on Friday, July 8 and one screening at 8pm on Saturday July 9.
