Wednesday, September 9 2026, 4:30 - 7pm 221 LeConte Hall Join us for a screening of The Return of Martin Guerre (1982, dir. Daniel Vigne), with an introduction by Professor Palmer and Professor Soper. During the middle of the sixteenth century, Martin Guerre returns to his village in southwestern France, after being away in the war for almost a decade. The villagers who knew him as a young man suspect he is not Martin, but he seems to know all about his friends, his family and his wife, even the most unusual things. Is this man really Martin Guerre? (From the Cohen Media Group) How do historians enjoy movies made in or about the past? Learn how film shapes how we remember historical events and how history can make for great entertainment. Join us as we experience historian's craft beyond the book and on the silver screen! Organized and curated by a doctoral student, this film series brings together great cinema and great history. Each film screening is sponsored by a history class with an introduction by the course instructor. Join us each month for a short introductory talk, post-film discussion, and screening of historically significant films. We'll have movie snacks! This is an FYO event. Free and open to all majors. For more information, please contact Chris Choe, christianchoe@uga.edu.
