IFF Screening "Sophie Scholl - The Final Days"
Carleton's International Film Forum presents films from all around the world in weekly screenings at the Weitz Center for Creativity Cinema. The screenings are on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. and are free and open to the public.
On October 3, 7pm, Professor Juliane Schicker from the German and Russian Department will present 'Sophie Scholl - The Final Days,' a film about the last days in the life of Sophie Scholl, a 21-year-old member of the anti-Nazi non-violent student resistance group the White Rose. Sophie was found guilty of high treason by the People's Court and executed the same day, February 22, 1943. The film was part of the Berlinale in 2005 and won Silver Bear awards for Best Director and Best Actress. It was nominated in September 2005 for an Oscar in the category of Best Foreign Language Film.

The International Film Forum is a group dedicated to the viewing and studying of foreign films, developed through a partnership between the Carleton departments of arts, cinema and media studies, and languages. The screenings are often preceded by a presentation—by the director of the film, a Carleton professor, or a knowledgeable guest—and followed by a short discussion session.
