This is the 11th anniversary of the film festival which features selections chosen by the ATU World Languages faculty showcasing films in their respective languages. Students taking Spanish, Japanese, German, or French have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the language through these films.
However, the festival is open to all students who might enjoy films in general or are just looking for something free and fun to do with their friends on a weeknight in Russellville.
