University hosts first Fox French Film Festival this month
Thanks to a grant from the French American Cultural Exchange (FACE) Tournees Festival, the university’s French program and cinema and media communication department are proud to host the first Fox French Film Festival this month.
Five current French-language films will be shown over a period of two weekends, Oct. 22-23 and Oct. 30. A Town Called Panic will show Friday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m.; the films Welcome and Daratt will be shown Saturday, Oct. 23, at 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., respectively; and Coco Before Chanel will show at 6 p.m. and Paris Je T’Aime at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30.
The films will show in EHS 102 and the cost is $3 per movie or $9 for a pass. Tickets can be purchased in advance in Minthorn 205, or at the door.
The festival also will feature French pastries and other desserts made by French students and Terrie Boehr (Family and Consumer Science). There will also be a talkback session with Clint Baldwin (Center for Peace and Justice) during the intermission between Welcome and Duratt, films that deal with issues of immigration and post-war reconciliation.
FACE is a New York-based nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing French-American relations through projects in the arts and education.
