\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Roanoke College\u2019s annual International Film Festival is here! This year’s festival theme is animals. Therefore, each movie is centered on different types of animals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0RC faculty carefully selects movies that highlight different languages that are taught at the college. After every movie, there is a panel-led discussion to talk about what aspects everyone enjoyed about the movie. It is a fun way to gain cultural perspectives while simultaneously getting to watch entertaining movies and get free food!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This festival was started by Dr. Liz Groff, who used to teach French at RC. The event was then passed down to Dr. Teresa A. Hancock-Parmer.. However, in Dr. Hancock-Parmer’s words, \u201cThis festival is truly a college-wide effort!\u201d Many people contribute in order to make this amazing event happen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The festival committee this year consisted of Dr. Charlene Kalinoski, Dr. Marwood Larson-Harris, Mary Jo Fassi\u00e9 and Dr. Zachary Ingle. RC also receives many sponsors whose funding helps tremendously. There are a lot of people helping behind the scenes to create an entertaining way for students to learn more about films and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Students who are actively trying to learn a new language can have a unique experience watching the movie in the language they are learning. You can learn many unfamiliar words or phrases! Going to this festival is a wonderful way to learn more about culture and significant historical events. After watching the movies, viewers receive further insights into the significance of the movie through the discussion panel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Overall, this event is an awesome opportunity that students should not miss. The next movie showing at RC will be \u201cGodzilla,\u201d playing Friday at 7 p.m. in the Antrim Chapel!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
