INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we learn about an upcoming international film series beginning this Sunday, called Chiaroscuro.

This year’s edition of the annual film series centers on the theme Generations, highlighting cultural differences, as well as cultural commonalities. President of the Chiaroscuro International Film Series Katharina Häusler-Gross joins us in studio to talk about the series, the films themselves, and also about the experience of watching a foreign-language film. Häusler-Gross, who is also Professor of Germans Studies and Foreign Language Methodology at Aquinas College, will examine a bit related to the sensory element with foreign films that differ from what typically occurs with American productions.

 

MUSIC

Local music featured in this edition of Catalyst Radio comes from Alexis, from the release Love or Temptation, with the song “Fantastic Magic.”
