Co-sponsored by the Center for European Studies in partnership with Wisconsin International Resource Consortium and the Wisconsin International Film Festival.
World Cinema Day, a collaboration between UW-Madison’s IRIS and the Wisconsin Film Festival that began in 2004, brings school children and teachers to Madison for the screening of a high-quality, international film with an introduction and post-film discussion led by a member of the UW faculty or staff. This year’s film is Rickshaw Girl. The film intro & Q&A will be led by the author of the novel of the same name, upon which the film is based, Mitali Perkins.
