Calcasieu Cinema International Presents Hospitalite

Friday Feb. 22 at 7pm Calcasieu Cinema International will present a free showing of Koji Fukada's film Hopitalite in Stokes Auditorium, Hardtner Hall of McNeese State University.  

Hospitalite is a seemingly comic take on modern Japanese life, with darker undercurrents and references to ongoing problems with suspicions of outsiders, vagrants, and Western values and behaviors.  

Calcasieu Cinema International, a branch of the Council for International Concerns, offers the series in partnership with McNeese State University's Office of Diversity, Banners Cultural Series, Arts and Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana, Lake Area Psychiatry, The Hearing Center, Common Ground/CultureFestLousiana, and Lake Charles Coca-Cola.  For more information, email cbadeaux@mcneese.edu or jkprjs@gmail.com.
