Film Movement gathers films from the top film festivals from around the world. Most of these films do not receive U.S. distribution. Each month Film Movement releases one film on dvd, and grants performance rights to UT Libraries to show the films on-screen.
So join us this Fall at the UT Libraries' Film Movement Series and sample award-winning, first-run independent and international feature films unlikely to be screened elsewhere in Knoxville.
Six films will be shown in Hodges Library Auditorium at 7:30PM every other Tuesday from September 25th through December 4th. A short film will follow the main feature. The film screenings are free and open to the public.
(Films are not rated. Some may contain explicit content.)
