FLAGSTAFF — The Global Engagement and Language Learning (GELL) Center provides a space for NAU students to engage in the study of global languages and cultures in order to promote student success beyond the classroom.
As part of that mission, the GELL Center is bringing the Global Film Series, “Food in Film,” to campus; it explores human interactions and relationships through food and examining the ways we use food to express ourselves as human beings.
All films will be shown in their original languages with English subtitles on various Wednesday nights throughout the semester. Each film will be introduced by a faculty member from the appropriate language department with discussion afterward.
Adults and teens from the campus and community are encouraged to attend these free screenings. Watching foreign language films can be a great way to practice a new language and to learn about other cultures.
Details about the featured films:
All films begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays in the Liberal Arts building, room 136
May 18 Comidas – Spanish
18 Meals, the 2010 Spanish drama that follows the conversations and meals of a group of intertwined lives over one day in the historic city of Santiago de Compostela, where the most important conversations of life are held over food.
