For more than fifteen years, the Office of International Education has organized and sponsored the Foreign Film and Music Series. Held during the Spring semester, the festival shows six recent foreign films at the Indiana Theater, along Philadelphia Street. Most evenings, there are local musicians performing before the film. All showings are free.
