The Film and Media Studies, Modern Language and Art Department will be hosting Wagner's first International Film Festival October 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27 and 28 2015 from 7:30pm-10pm in Manzulli Board Room.
Night Two we will show "Jean Gentil" followed by a talk back with Director Laura Amelia Guzman.
"Jean Gentil" premiered at the Venize Film Festival, and follows the journey of Haitian immigrant Jean Remy Genty, a French teacher looking for work in the Dominican Republic. This journey takes him from the urban bustle to the jungle. This is a stunningly photographed and poignant film, especially in light of Dominican Republic's immigration debate, which in many ways mirrors our own.
