The fourth film of the Tournees Festival, an event that presents French films weekly through November 3 on campus, will be Persepolis. This animated film that begins during the Islamic Revolution, tells the poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl. Clever and fearless, Marjane outsmarts local “social guardians.” The film will be shown at 7pm in the O’Shaughnessy Educational Center auditorium on the university’s St. Paul campus. A panel discussion will follow the film.
