Every year Fire Escape hosts a Spring Film Festival in the Film Studies Center made up of productions made under a certain theme.  This year’s theme is International Film.  This can be interpreted to encompass a wide variety of film styles, check a few suggestions below if you’re in need of a little inspiration:

• Italian Neo-realism: “You live and you suffer.” (Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica)
• French New Wave: “A virginal heartbeat has its own juvenile logic.” (Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Jacques Rivette)
• German Expressionism:  (The Cabinet of Caligari, Metropolis)
• The Western: “Every gun makes its own tune.”
• Bollywood
• Film Noir (The Big Sleep, The Big Heat, and The Big Combo!)
