Explore thought-provoking foreign films that spotlight influential issues in contemporary societies during this spring’s International Film Series.
The theme is “Globalization and Migration,” featuring films that explore the impact of the globalized economy, trade policies and labor practices on individuals and societies, and how these often lead to large-scale migration, said series organizer Judith Costello.
Free films will be screened most Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Jan. 29 to April 30 in the Liberal Arts Bldg., Rm. 120.
“The series lends perspective, demonstrating that no geographic area is unique in negotiating migration issues with economic and political concerns,” said Costello, a lecturer in comparative cultural studies. “Hopefully, these films will open some debate on how we might deal more effectively and humanely with the situation.”
