November 2nd, 2009: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
This event celebrates the fourth annual College of Humanities International Film Festival will present films from diverse nationalities to explore a diversity of issues, cultures, thoughts and perspectives focusing on the themes of race, privilege and exclusion.
This event is free and open to the public.
This year’s focus on race helps create a community of learners who critically explore and reflect on how privileges and exclusions function in a racially diverse society. This is the fourth time this film festival is celebrated on our campus, and we hope to build on our successes of the past three years in each consecutive year.
Some of the films we will screen at the festival have a domestic focus on race in the U.S., while others explore race in international contexts. Some examples are: The Exiles (USA), New York (India), The Civilizers (Germany & Guatemala), Children of the Camps (USA) and Mirrors of Privilege (USA).
This year we are also screening a film directed and produced by a CSUN faculty member, Dr. Marta Lopez-Garza on the implicit exclusions in the challenges facing formerly incarcerated women, entitled When Will the Punishment End?
