Foreign Film Nites @ the FLTC
 
 
 

In collaboration with foreign language and other program areas at WSU the FLTC hosts a foreign film evening every week for students enrolled in foreign language, literature and culture courses. These screenings are intended to enhance students’ learning experience by adding rich cultural and contextual information to their knowledge-base and help refine their linguistic skills. Students and faculty have an opportunity to see significant historical and contemporary works of foreign cinema. Some of the films presented are not mainstream cinema and difficult to find. Typically, film screenings start with an introduction by faculty, and end with a discussion after the screening. The audience is encouraged to stay and participate in the discussion.

Most of the films have English subtitles and are screened in our multimedia-equipped rooms on a large screen. All films are open to WSU students and faculty interested in foreign languages, literature, culture, and cinema.

SEE YOU AT THE MOVIES!

Program for Fall 2009

The films screened between October 13 and November 18th are part of a special series on "Revolutions of 1989".
