Journey across the Australian Outback, learn about the Bosnian conflict and experience the hardships of feminine emancipation with three award-winning international films.The International Film Festival series, sponsored by the Student Activity Board, is a three-week event featuring three films. Each film will be shown on both Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. of the week it’s featured.The films were selected by the International Committee of SAB based on what would be the most interesting to students. “We want to promote cultural awareness through films,” said International Committee Chair Damneet Mand. “This may help people know what’s going on.”The film “No Man’s Land” was first shown Tuesday night and will be shown again tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Dodson Auditorium. The viewing is open to the public.”No Man’s Land” is set during the Bosnian conflict of 1993. A Bosnian soldier and Serbian soldier are trapped in a trench between warring factions, each 100 yards from an army that wants to kill them. This film earned a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film and an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.Golden Globe-nominated “Rabbit Proof Fence,” based on the true story of three aboriginal girls who journey across the outback of Australia to return home, will be shown next week.The final week of the series features the winner of the London Film Festival, “Brick Lane,” which is based on a novel by Monica Ali about displacement and female emancipation set within a poor East London immigrant community.Parker Johnson, psychology graduate student, believes the International Film Festival is important for cultural awareness. “You have to be able to walk and talk in other countries, and international films [are] a great way to bridge the cultural gap,” Johnson said.—-Contact Alice Womble at [email protected]
