FilmScene and the University of Iowa International Writing Program are partnering for the first time to feature a variety of international screenwriters, directors, and novelists in a free weekly film series.
Streaming from Sept. 8 to Nov. 10, the program will exhibit international films at 7 p.m. Sunday nights in FilmScene’s Pedestrian Mall location.
UI Professor Natasa Durovicova, the house editor with the International Writing Program, said the series gives unknown writers and directors a chance to showcase their work for the Iowa City community, who may have otherwise never discovered those films.
