NMC’s World Languages department and Student Life are pleased to announce the new Global Cinema Series.  Each month, with the exception of July and August, a film will be shown showcasing important topics in our world. 

This is a FREE program open to students, staff, and the community, although seating is limited. Doors open and 5:30 pm and films begin at 6:00 pm. in the Dutmer’s theatre in the Dennos Museum. A moderator will introduce each film and be on hand after the film to facilitate a discussion.

The program launched on Sep. 11 with a showing of Frida Viva la Vida to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month. Marina Call of International Services was the moderator. Next up on Oct. 16 is the film Wrestling Ghosts supporting World Mental Health Day. The documentary follows a young mother grappling with parenting, childhood trauma, and healing.
