This autumn, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Museum of Art will host The Global Lens Film Series. Organized by the Global Film Initiative, the series draws from cinematic talent across the planet, with a focus on Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.<\/p>\n

The Series opens with\u00a0Getting Home<\/em> by Zhang Yang, China (Mandarin, with subtitles in English). In this soulful and humane comedy, Zhao, a middle-aged construction worker, struggles to fulfill a dying co-worker\u2019s last wish to be buried in China\u2019s Three Gorges region. Setting out with his colleague\u2019s body in tow, Zhao travels hundreds of miles across extraordinary countryside, encountering a number of colorful adventures and characters\u2014and even discovering love in some unlikely quarters. Director Zhang Yang\u2019s humorous and moving tale of friendship offers a powerful, and sometimes slapstick, commentary on the value of community and human connectivity in modern China.<\/p>\n

$5 general admission, free for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students.<\/p>\n
