Crime & Justice in French Film festival, hosted by Kent State University

Join us October 15th through October 18th at Kent State University for a celebration of contemporary French cinema with a focus on crime and justice. We are proud to present six award-winning films that demonstrate the diversity and range of cinema in France. Each film, in its own way, deals with questions of how individuals and societies come to grips with crime, its aftermath, and how justice can be served. Please see below for a list the screenings. We are excited to welcome faculty members from across the region, with specialties ranging from forensic anatomy to contemporary French culture, to introduce the films. Each film will be followed by light refreshments and discussion with the presenters. Full descriptions and trailers of each film are linked on our website. Click "More Details" to be taken directly to the website. This is a free event, and all members of the community are welcome to attend. Films will be screened with the original French audio and subtitled in English. Please be advised that not all films are appropriate for children. Seating will be first come, first served. We are excited to see you there!
