2025

In 2025, we celebrated 10 years of the World Languages and Literatures International Film Festival with the theme of “Modern Retellings of Myths and Fairy Tales." 2025 Festival events included opening and closing night receptions, screenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the month of February and the first two weeks of March, Q&A sessions with guest directors, a private tour of SMU's film vault, and several pre-screening receptions hosted by various cultural organizations and festival sponsors.

The 2025 World Languages and Literatures International Film Festival was made possible thanks to the generous support of its sponsors: SMU Libraries, the G. William Jones Film Collection, Italian Club, French Club, German Club, the DCII Scott-Hawkins Lecture Fund, the DCII Research Cluster on Asian Studies and Asian American Experiences, Fulbright Association-Dallas Chapter, SMU Department of English.
