Kean University Presents An International Film Series Thru 2/26
Kean University will present an International Film Series of Acadamy Award nominated and winning films by artists from Canada, Japan, Argentina, Israel and Mexico through February 26. The series will be presented in the Jules Schwartz Lecture Hall of Kean University’s newly constructed environmentally “green” Science and Technology (STEM) Building, a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified (LEED) academic facility on Kean University’s east campus.
Pan’s Labyrinth, a film By Guillermo Del Toro (Mexico, 2006) garnered three Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Makeup, shown on Sunday, February 26. Pan’s Labyrinth unfolds through the eyes of Ofelia, a dreamy little girl who is uprooted to a rural military outpost commanded by her new stepfather. Powerless and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human. Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro delivers a unique, richly imagined gothic fairy tale set against the postwar repression of Franco’s Spain. It is a timeless tale of good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss.
All movies in the International Film Series are screened at 3:00 pm. Tickets are only $8 standard or $5 with a Kean University ID and can be purchased by calling Kean Stage Box Office at 908.737.SHOW (7469), online at www.keanstage.com, or at Kean University’s Wilkins Theater Box Office, 1000 Morris Avenue.
