It’s our annual Halloween spectacular, where we screen frightening foreign-language movies from around the world! Drop by the Hatcher Gallery (just off the Diag) on Friday, October 30, for one or all of these free movies. All films are subtitled in English.

We hope you'll join us in person to watch on a big screen, but U-M faculty, students, and staff can watch anytime by logging into Kanopy with the links.

These movies may contain violent content, disturbing imagery, and sexual situations which may be too intense for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.
