As the academic year comes to a close, we’ve acquired an interesting film collection that’s worth a special mention.<\/p>\n
In their own words, the Global Film Initiative<\/a> “promotes cross-cultural understanding through the medium of cinema.” Their board includes such esteemed filmmakers as Pedro Almod\u00f3var and Lars von Trier. Each year, the GFI chooses a selection of narrative feature films from around the world for special presentation as part of their traveling Global Lens series.<\/p>\n This week, we added the Global Lens 2012 series<\/a> to our collections. It features ten films from across the world, including Albania, Brazil, and Rwanda. If you’re interested in world cinema, these films are certainly worth a look<\/a>.<\/p>\n (And if you’re looking for something to screen for a club or event, our copies of the films have public performance rights. Please consult with us in advance.)\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the academic year comes to a close, we’ve acquired an interesting film collection that’s worth a special mention.
