International Area Studies Film Fest Presents Amelie
The College of Arts and Sciences and International Area Studies continue their International Film Fest with the award-winning movie Amélie on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 6 p.m. in Nesbitt Hall’s Ruth Auditorium (33rd and Market Streets).
Amélie is the story of a girl whose childhood was suppressed by her father’s mistaken concerns over a heart defect. With these concerns, Amélie has very little contact with other people, leading her to resort to her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty. As a young woman, Amélie moves to the central part of Paris and works as a waitress. After finding a lost treasure belonging to the former occupant of her apartment, she decides to return it to him. After seeing his reaction and his newfound perspective, Amélie decides to devote her life to the people around her and, along the way, discovers love.
The event is free and open to students, faculty and staff. Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Jacqueline Rios, jsr62@drexel.edu.
