Winter Films

The Hop Experiential Learning Fund provides support for classes to attend one live performance AND one film each term! Every quarter Hop Film presents a mix of acclaimed arthouse, foreign language and documentary titles, as well as films with live guests. This term, we are especially eager to bring together students from Government, WGSS, Film, Public Policy and Geisel School of Medicine at a screening of the new documentary Zurawski v Texas. The directors will join a post-show Q&A to discuss their clear-eyed look at the consequences of Texas's strict abortion bans and the legal efforts to safeguard women's lives and reproductive health.

Indeed, many of these films have a social justice focus and tie into students' academic interests. Highlight include: the adaptation of Claire Keegan's novella Small Things Like These, the genre-defying musical Emlia Pérez about a Mexican cartel boss seeking gender-affirming surgery, the post-apocalyptic musical The End about our complicity in the climate collapse and the Iranian slow-burn thriller Seed of the Sacred Fig.

The Winter film slate is HERE and if you have questions, please contact Johanna Evans, Film Programming Manager, at johanna.r.evans@dartmouth.edu.
