Dear UConn Community,
LANGSA, the Languages Graduate Student Association, would like to invite you to our annual film festival! This year, we will be celebrating the LCL Department’s underrepresented languages by putting the spotlight on films in languages of our department that you might not know we have, including Korean, Farsi, Arabic, Hebrew, and Portuguese. This is a great opportunity to explore international cinema in languages you might not be (or perhaps are!) familiar with. All are welcome! Even if you don’t speak any of these languages, there will be English subtitles on all of them.
Our festival will be taking place Monday –Friday, November 11–15 at 7pm in the Homer Babbidge Library, room 2119A (Video Theater 2).
Snacks, pizza, and refreshments will be provided!
Here’s a sneak peek at the film we will be playing tonight at 7pm:
- Friday, 11/15 – Train to Busan (Korean)
Seok-woo, his estranged daughter, and other passengers find themselves trapped on a train from Seoul to Busan during a sudden outbreak of a zombie apocalypse. This award-winning film is the highest grossing Korean film of 2016 is the country’s first zombie film.
Join us at 7pm in the Homer Babbidge Library, room 2119A (Video Theater 2) for some pizza, snacks, and the last night of our international Film Festival!
