Another Film Night!

After the success of the last film night, we're having another one, this time alongside the Francophone society.

‘Welcome’ (2009) by Philippe Loriet

24th November

Khalid Said Room, Student Union

19:30-22:30

This film centres on the friendship between a swimming instructor at the Calais municipal bathsand a 17-year-old Iraqi Kurd bent on swimming the channel to be reunited with his girlfriend in London. The film's chief revelation is the way French officialdom treats both the illegal immigrants and French citizens who assist them.

Winner of numerous awards at events such as the Berlin Film Festival, César Awards and Warsaw International Film Festival. 

Check out the trailer (below)and then come down for a chilled evening showing that its not always 'la vie est belle' in France...
