National Cinema Film Series II: Documenting the National Imaginaries in Asia

 The monthly National Cinema film screening will be held at the James M. Johnson Center for Undergraduate Excellence in Graham Memorial Hall, room 039, and will feature a 10-minute introduction facilitated by a speaker whose research expertise is relevant to the given film's region of focus or theme.

We expect the film introductions to be incisive and informative. A discussion following each film screening will serve as an opportunity for dialogue. Light refreshments will be provided at the screenings.
