Students and employees are invited to the 2022 French-International Film festival. Viewing takes place at 6 p.m. through April at the CLIC in Pacific Hall, Taylor Auditorium, or online. This event is not open to the pubic.

This week's feature is Bamako. Outside the modest home that singer Melé and her husband, Chaka, share with other families stands a make-shift open-air courtroom. The accused — the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the inequities of globalization perpetrated on all of Africa. One by one, witnesses take the stand in Abderrahmane Sissako's pointed, nuanced meta-drama.

Bamako is 117 minutes long. The film will be shown with English subtitles on Monday, April 25 at 6 p.m. in the Taylor Auditorium, and is open only to Pacific students and employees. 

The film will also be available to view online from April 21 to April 27. Please contact Professor Jeanne-Sarah de Larquier at dela2199@pacificu.edu to get the online viewing link and password.
