The French Graduate Student Association is proud to present the 1st annual French and Francophone film festival here at the University of Washington. This film series has been
structured to explore several key issues surrounding ethnicity,
multiculturalism and identity in the postcolonial francophone world. The diegesis of the films selected work
through issues of generational and cultural divide (Le Grand Voyage), national identity (10th District Court), immigration and immigration policy
in Europe (Hop), suburban culture and
the use of language in identity constructs (L'esquive),
ethnic and religious tolerance (La Petite
Jerusalem) and institutionalized racism in the workplace (The Glass Ceiling).
