Transnational Queer Film Studies Symposium: Saturday

Students in Professor Robert McRuer’s English 3980, “Transnational Film Studies and LGBTQ Cultures,” had the opportunity this semester to participate in one of the department’s most unique offerings. The course was taught all semester here at GW while another version of it was taught simultaneously at Charles University in Prague by Professor Kateřina Kolářová. From Nov. 6-17, the GW students in the class (along with one Georgetown student) traveled to Prague to meet their counterparts and attend together the Mezipatra International Queer Film Festival. The students saw a total of eight films in Prague together, and met daily (sometimes with directors and others involved in the festival) to talk about and debate those films.
