November 9, 2011
Date: Wednesday, November 9
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: The Commons
Contact: Professor Giovanna Chesler at gchesler@mmm.edu
In this film, Claire Denis explores the complex dimensions of relationships between France and the Francophone world. White Material poses questions regarding identity, socioeconomic status in relationships, language and representation. It offers an opportunity to look at the problematic history of the French colonial presence and how these relationships and tensions manifest themselves today. A post-screening discussion will be led by Julie Huntington, Ph.D., assistant professor of French.
The Tournées Festival was made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the French Ministry of Culture (CNC).
