Films from around the world

On Friday, December 8, and Saturday, December 9, WPI's International Student Council, Social Committee and Graduate Student Organization will sponsor a festival of four films from different parts of the world. All films will be shown in Perreault Hall, Fuller Labs. Passports, good for all of the movies, are $5 for WPI students and $7 for others. WPI students may also see individual films at a cost of $2 per ticket. Passports are available in the Social Committee Office in Daniels Hall.

To Live, in Chinese with English subtitles, is an epic portrayal of one Chinese family's trials, triumphs and through several decades that will be shown on Friday, December 8, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday will feature three films: Bhaji on the Beach, a smart and sassy comedy-drama about ethnic and women's issues in an Asian/Indian section of industrial Birmingham, England, will be on screen at 3 p.m. El Mariachi, at 7 p.m., tells the tale of a hapless guitar-playing mariachi who is mistaken for a hit man when he arrives in a sleepy Mexican border town. The movie is in Spanish with English subtitles. The festival will conclude with the 9:30 p.m. showing of Men, a German feature with English subtitles that tells the story of a man who moves in with his wife's Bohemian lover. Men has been described as a "brash neo-screwball comedy exploring the male mystique."
