FLL Film Festival

The Albertine Cinémathèque Film Festival: Resistance on Screen is co-organized by Renée Altergott (French and Francophone Studies) and Justin Wilmes (Russian Studies, Film Studies). It features fictional narratives and documentary films that explore examples of resistance across a wide variety of contexts: from the German Occupation of France during World War II to the decolonization of Africa, urgent contemporary political conflicts, and imagined science fantasy worlds. Together, these films raise common questions about the formal possibilities of bearing witness to violence and oppression, the hope and humanity to be regained through art and creation, and the lessons from history that are still relevant today.

This film festival is made possible by the generous support of Albertine Cinémathèque and ECU’s Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, Thomas Harriot College of Arts & Sciences, Department of History, and the Thomas W. Rivers Professorship for Global Understanding/International Studies.
