Foreign Film Night

Foreign Film Night is a virtual event where students come together to watch an international film and explore a story from a different part of the world. Each film provides a unique cultural perspective, inviting students to engage with themes like family, identity, resilience, and community.

The purpose of Foreign Film Night is to inspire cultural appreciation and broaden students’ understanding of global narratives. Through watching and discussing films from diverse backgrounds, students gain insight into various cultures, traditions, and worldviews, fostering empathy, curiosity, and global awareness. Following each screening, we hold a group discussion to reflect on the film’s themes, share thoughts, and ask questions, creating a deeper connection to the story and each other.
