Join DePaul University's School of Cinematic Arts and The Music Box Theatre for a series of films that seek to challenge, interrogate, and redefine our understanding of the Second World War. From the jungles and islands of the Pacific to the war torn streets of Berlin (along with a bit of surreal R&R at a Belgian castle), this selection of films presents a dynamic journey across the cinematic battlefields of the most devastating conflict the world has ever known. Rather than focusing on the sharply defined nationalism and spectacular imagery of victory culture, this program will examine the blurred lines that separate enemy from ally, friend from foe, and narrative from history.

Featuring introductions and post-screening discussions led by DePaul faculty, Visions from "The Good War" will encourage audience members to participate in a conversation surrounding the battle scarred relationship between war and cinema.
