CISE uses its film series as a platform for interdisciplinary learning, dialogue and community engagement. It presents two film-based programs each semester, featuring thoughtfully selected documentaries, narrative films, and international and independent cinema that explore issues of broad academic and public interest. 

The selected films will address social, cultural, political, historical, scientific, environmental, ethical and global issues, and will intentionally reflect a range of perspectives, disciplines, cultures and forms of storytelling. Given the educational value, interdisciplinary relevance and broad perspectives of the films, the series will stimulate meaningful dialogue among EKU students, faculty and community members. 

Each screening will be paired with a facilitated interdisciplinary discussion with faculty, students, community partners or invited experts contributing perspectives from different fields. When appropriate, screenings may be organized in collaboration with academic departments, programs, EKU student clubs and community organizations. 

The initiative will seek to make programming accessible, educational, inclusive and welcoming to the broader community, while creating opportunities for students to engage with faculty and community members beyond the traditional classroom. CISE will select films available through EKU library resources or platforms that provide appropriate educational and/or public performance rights.
