Husky Film Festival

Monday, March 25th, 2019

07:30 PM - 10:00 PM

Storrs Campus
SU 304

Our student organization, Husky Films, will be putting on a 5-film festival this spring. Each film will be curated and introduced by a professor from either UConn or UMass. For example, we have the Art History and Mathematics departments combining to introduce the film Hidden Figures and the Philosophy department showing City of God. Each professor has a personal and professional interest in the film they are screening and will bring a level of expertise that goes beyond a cursory summary. Three of the films are international productions (City of God, Children of the Fall, A Matter of Life and Death) and the other two are from Hollywood (Hidden Figures, Sunshine). The series will surely be an educational and entertaining event for honors students.
