Merrick Hall | Room 301

OWU’s third annual Tournées French Film Festival presents “My Friend Victoria,” in Room 301 of Merrick Hall, 65 S. Sandusky St., Delaware. (Civeyrac, 2014, not rated.) In this film, writer-director Jean Paul Civeyrac shifts the action of Nobel Prize-winning author Doris Lessing’s story “Victoria and the Staveneys” from London to Paris, but otherwise remains faithful to Lessing’s tale of a young black woman’s uneasy relationship with a wealthy white family. In the most concrete terms, privilege is within Victoria’s reach, but never truly hers. The film features English subtitles and includes introductions and post-viewing discussions led by OWU faculty and students. Admission is free. Learn more at www.owu.edu/mfl.
