All films are presented in their original language with English subtitles. A faculty-led discussion will take place before and after each film viewing.

“International films are valuable from a cinematic perspective and can show the culture, history and customs of other countries, Purdue Calumet Foreign Languages and Literatures Continuing Lecturer Steve Lombardo said. “A film is like a window into another country’s culture and society; we have tried to choose films that are representative of other countries“

The International Film Series is co-sponsored by the university’s Departments of Foreign Languages and Literatures, English and Philosophy, Communication and Creative Arts, the International Programs Office, and the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.

Limited seating is available. Additional information can be obtained by contacting Lombardo at lombardo@calumet.purdue.edu or James A. Miller at millerja@calumet.purdue.edu.
