9:30 p.m. April 2 – The 2019 Community Film Series presents “Dheepan” (France, Audiard, 2015) at the Strand Theatre, 28 W.

The strangers struggle to create a relationship while coping with the drug-fueled violence in their new Paris home. Winner of the top prize at Cannes, the film is “as tightly coiled as a thriller,” Boston Globe critic Ty Burr writes. (Tamil and French with English subtitles). The Community Film Series is an annual tradition of OWU’s Department of English and its Film Studies Program and the historic Strand. Tickets are $7 for general admission; $6 for military personnel and Ohio Wesleyan students and employees and $5 for senior citizens. Learn more at www.owu.edu/english or www.thestrandtheatre.net.
