Southern Methodist University (SMU) is giving students the opportunity to experience world cinema with the 11th anniversary of the International Film Festival organized by the Department of World Languages and Literatures.

SMU is once again screening a German film, “Willkommen bei den Hartmanns” (2016), directed by Simon Verhoeven. The film is scheduled for March 3rd at 7:00 PM. A brilliant comedy that takes you on a rollercoaster. This film tells the story of an affluent German family, where each member has issues of their own. The arrival of a refugee turns their world upside down. The film received the German Film Award for Highest grossing Film of the Year in 2016 and received praise for its willingness to address Germany's ambivalent views on refugees, albeit through a humorous lens.

A reception will be held at 6 PM before the film screening.

Join Goethe-Institut Houston and the Dallas Goethe Center at Southern Methodist University (SMU) for On the Road: Readings with Young German Writers.

Organized by the Goethe-Institut, in cooperation with the German Literature Institute in Leipzig and local partners throughout the USA, ON THE ROAD presents two up-and-coming young German writers, Louise Kenn and Mücahit Türk for a month‑long literary journey across the United States.

As they venture the country, stopping along the way to gain impressions of daily life in America, they will share their insights on writing, culture, and the art of storytelling through a series of public readings, lively discussions, and thoughtful conversations with local audiences. As part of their cross‑country travels, Kenn and Türk will visit the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, where they will share their texts and stories in a reading that offers a distinctive cross‑cultural glimpse into contemporary German literature.
