Atkins Library is offering a $250 prize to the winner of the Tourneés Film Festival Essay Contest!

The films in his year’s festival explore experiences of foreigners and strangers in new and sometimes hostile environments. Please attend one or several films (see schedule here) and write a brief review of one film – 750 to 1,000 words, double spaced – to explain its relevance to these topics. The review should describe, analyze and evaluate the film’s content and style, especially as it addresses the themes of intercultural relationships and the outsider’s experience in a new environment.
