Film series: Worth a Watch

RETURN TO SEOUL (dir. Davy Chou, 2023)

In addition to our dedicated series, our spring calendar will also feature numerous new films, filmmaker visits, and special events, many catalyzed in collaboration with campus departments and programs. Highlights include Wim Wender's Anselm, presented in 3D; 32 Sounds, an immersive sound experience by Sam Green; a screening of Return to Seoul with filmmaker Davy Chou; and the Academy Award® nominees Priscilla and The Zone of Interest, among many others.

Though we would argue that all films at Cornell Cinema are worth watching, this series aims showcase some of the most compelling and critically acclaimed recent releases, focusing primarily on international features, independent films, and recent Hollywood hits.
