Details

This festival features fictional narratives and documentary films that explore examples of resistance across a wide variety of contexts: from the German Occupation of France during World War II to the decolonization of Africa, urgent contemporary political conflicts, and imagined science fantasy worlds. Together, these films raise common questions about the formal possibilities of bearing witness to violence and oppression, the hope and humanity to be regained through art and creation, and the lessons from history that are still relevant today.


Free & Open to the Public
All films will be introduced in English and followed by a Q&A

For more information, please reach out to Renée Altergott (altergottr24@ecu.edu) or Justin Wilmes (wilmesj15@ecu.edu).
