About International Film Series: Our mission is to provide the Texas Tech University campus and the Lubbock community with regular screenings of international and independent cinema. Our screenings are paired with speakers, panels or roundtables that offer the opportunity to discuss issues raised by the films themselves. Moreover, we wish to provide logistical and material support to members of the campus community who wish to bring to campus films that meet the goals of the series. The International Film Series is sponsored by the TTU Department of Journalism and Electronic Media and the Thomas Jay Harris Institute for Hispanic and International Communication.

Become a part of the global community. Experience international cinema.
