Tonight kicks off the 7th International Film Festival presented by the Ross Pendergraft Library and the English and World Languages Department. The film is Undine (2020), a German film with English subtitles, about a historian lecturing on the urban development of Berlin who is faced with an unpleasant situation with the one she loves (IMDB). The film will be shown at the Doc Bryan Auditorium at 7:00 pm. 
The purpose of the festival is to offer a glimpse into other cultures and ways of life, to foster an open-minded global cultural identity, to enjoy talented actors and directors from around the world, and to extend sociology, anthropology, and language courses. The festival was created by Dr. Lowell Lybager and Philippe VanHoutte librarians at the Ross Pendergraft Library. Since then it has been supported by members of the English and World Languages Department and organized this year with the help of Dr. Nelson Ramirez. Title selections were made by the faculty of World Languages.
The festival includes 8 films, 7 languages, and 3 weeks of viewing pleasure. A sample of upcoming screenings include the 1954 Japanese language version of Godzilla and the wildly popular Spirited Away (2001). Other languages featured are French and Spanish.
