The In Light Film Festival, which began in 2015 as the project of IU students and faculty members, has announced the lineup for its second year.
The lineup includes seven documentary films, all of which were released in the past two years and all of which concern human rights.
The festival will take place March 4-6, with the March 4 showings at the IU Cinema and all other showings in the Fine Arts building.
Matthew Heineman’s Academy Award-nominated film “Cartel Land,” about vigilantes fighting drug cartels on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, will open the festival.
Other films include “Je Suis Charlie,” about the 2015 terrorist attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo; “The Russian Woodpecker,” about a Ukrainian artist obsessed with the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster; and “Thank You For Playing,” about an indie video game developer who created a game to document his experiences dealing with his young son’s terminal cancer diagnosis.
