SLU Announces Spring Film Series

Webster University's Film Sereis is rightly regarded as the leading source of on-campus cinematic entertainment in town. But Washington University and Fontbonne University have also been known to highlight occasional, high-quality film offerings. Less known is the annual, spring program at Saint Louis University, which typically offers a broad selection of (relatively) recent, international cinema.

Though it's generally aimed at students and faculty/staff members, general publicans have been known to slip into the films, held at the Kelley Auditorium on campus. Thanks to a keen reader at SLU, we note the arrival of the spring mix of films at SLU, a rather diverse blend, at that:

The film studies program has announced the schedule for the fourth annual Campus Film Series, which includes a selection of American and international films in varying genres. All films are shown free of charge at 7 p.m. on Thursdays in Kelley Auditorium.
