This international film series features contemporary tales of migration and exile as told by compelling directors and actors, offering multiple perspectives on what it means to live unmoored from the guarantees of social inclusion or the continuities of cultural tradition.

The series will present six films over two semesters, each briefly introduced by a professor from the Department of Modern & Classical Languages. An informal discussion will follow after each viewing.

Antigone ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10260042/): a retelling of the Greek myth of Antigone set in French Canada among Algerian immigrants.
