Engage International Film Series: Dhoom 2
Wednesday, April 18, 7:30 p.m. Lumina Theater FREE
Dhoom 2 (India, 2006, 152 min., 35mm)
Dir: Sanjay Gadhvi. Newly partnered police officers Ali and Jai begin a high-tech, high-octane game of cat-and-mouse when Mr. A, the famed international thief, targets Mumbai to continue his series of seemingly impossible heists. Action, adventure, song and dance are all part of the spectacle in this recent Bollywood hit. In Hindi with English subtitles. Please note running time; presented with short intermission. Sponsored by the Department of Film Studies and India Mahal restaurant.
Taking full advantage of the new facilities at the Lumina Theater in the Fisher Student Center, the series will feature 35mm prints (theatrical quality projection) to provide the full experience of watching these films on the big screen. These internationally acclaimed films have not been screened in local commercial theaters. The Engage International Film Series represents the commitment of the Department of Film Studies Department to increase the variety of films available to audiences in Wilmington. Now more than ever it is important to introduce students and general audiences to stories, images and sounds produced around the world.
All screenings will be free and open to the public. Below are brief descriptions of the films as well as links to publicity photos.
Questions about the films and the series can be directed to Dr. James Kreul in the Department of Film Studies, 962-2229, kreulj@uncw.edu. Questions about the Lumina Theater in the Fisher Student Center at the University of North Carolina Wilmington can be directed to the Information Desk at 962-3841.
