Event Details - Tournées Film Festival: 'L'Atelier'

In this film by acclaimed writer-director Laurent Cantet, a successful novelist teaches a writing workshop for a diverse group of young unemployed people. As the novelist attempts to understand why one of her students embraces a reprehensible ideology, the film builds into a breathtaking thriller that provides startling insight into conflicts of culture and belief pertinent far beyond France. An opening reception for the festival starts at 6:30pm, and a Q&A follows. FMI lballadu@bates.edu. (2017, 113 min.)
