Movie Night at the International Film Festival

The Ross Pendergraft Library is once again proud to host their International Film Festival between March 3rd and March 17th.  Grab your date or your favorite friends and enjoy the cinematic experience of watching captivating, funny, and thought-provoking films (with subtitles) on the big screen.

Each film begins at 7:00 PM in the Doc Bryan Student Services Lecture Hall at 1605 Coliseum Drive.  A Q&A session covering themes and topics from the film’s selector follows each screening. Here are this year’s selections and dates:

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.

To learn more about the films and watch their trailers, visit the International Film Festival website: http://filmfest.atu.edu.  If you missed any of the films and would like to watch them at home, most are available at the library on DVD or via streaming video.  You can search the film titles in our library database, Find It.
