International Film Club

The goal of the International Film Club is to promote International Student participation in Campus Life and to promote cultural fluency and awareness of international film culture and politics for the UC Irvine community.

Curated by Catherine Liu in coordination with collaborators, the UC Irvine International Film Club will meet once a month in the McCormick Screening Room, Humanities Gateway, to screen a series of classic and contemporary International Films. All screenings will be followed by question and answer periods and discussions led by a graduate student or Professor.

All films will be held at 7 p.m., in McCormick Screening Room 1070, Humanities Gateway
