International Film Festival & Tournées Film Festival in Kirksville (Spring 2019)

Truman State University’s Department of Classical and Modern Languages’ (CML) annual film festival is featuring films that discuss the topics of race and diversity.

The festival will begin on Friday, January 25 and will continue for the next four weekends with one movie being shown each Friday and Saturday until February 16.  All of the films will begin at 7:30 pm and will be shown in Truman’s Baldwin Hall Little Theater (BH 102).The festival is a free event and is open to all members of the public.

The number of films being shown this year has been expanded to eight films thanks to a grant awarded to Truman’s CML department  from the Tournées Film Festival, which is an artistic fund supported by the FACE foundation (French-American Cultural Exchange.) This year six French-language films (I am not your negro, Bande de filles, Félicité, 120 BPM, Qu’Allah bénisse la France, and Petit à petit) will be shown along with one German-language film (Neuland) and one Spanish-language film (Pelo-Malo).
