Film Studies Student Choice Award

Join us for a screening of Jean-Pierre Melville’s gangster classic Le Samourai, introduced by Ohio State student Alan Weisenberger. The winner of this year’s Student Choice Award selected by Ohio State’s Film Studies Program, Weisenberger will introduce the film by reading from his winning essay.

The award, which also includes a cash prize, provides students with an opportunity to explore the fields of film criticism and programming using knowledge acquired in their film studies coursework. Le Samourai stars French icon Alain Delon as a perfectionist hit man who adheres to a strict code of duty while carrying out his jobs. It is one of the great films of the 1960s. (105 mins., 35mm)
