FESTIVAL DESCRIPTION
The
French Graduate Student Association is proud to present the 2nd 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, memory and identity in the neocolonial francophone world. The diegesis of the films selected work
through issues of anticolonial struggle for independence (Frantz Fanon), colonial heritage and memory (Cache), national collective memory (Indigenes), national reconciliation (Daratt), reconciling the past with one's present (Les temps qui changent) and the power of manners, language, and love (Ne touchez pas la hache).
