The\u00a0Global Engagement and Language Learning (GELL) Center<\/strong>\u00a0provides a space for NAU students to engage in the study of global languages and cultures in order to promote student success beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

As part of that mission, the GELL Center is bringing the Global Film Series, “Food in Film,” to campus; it explores human interactions and relationships through food and examining the ways we use food to express ourselves as human beings.<\/p>\n

All films will be shown in their original languages with English subtitles on various Wednesday nights throughout the semester. Each film will be introduced by a faculty member from the appropriate language department with discussion afterward.<\/p>\n

Adults and teens from the campus and community are encouraged to attend these free screenings. Watching foreign language films can be a great way to practice a new language and to learn about other cultures.<\/p>\n

Details about the featured films:
\nAll films begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays in the Liberal Arts building, room 136\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
