As part of the The Tournées Festival of New French Cinema (January 6-February 3, 2012) at University of Chicago, the Film Studies Center will be screening a film from Chad called Un homme qui crie / A Screaming Man. Here's the description
"Working on a scale both intimate (a father’s wounded ego) and epic (a nation torn apart by civil war), writer-director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun creates a tender but unsentimental portrait of present-day Chad, simultaneously unfolding private and national tragedies through the tale of a father, a son and a gleaming swimming pool."
(Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, Chad/France/Belgium, 2010, French and Arabic w. English subtitles, 35mm, 92 min)
The screening is free and open to the public but you are encouraged to make reservations. It takes place at 5811 South Ellis Ave, Cobb Hall 306, Chicago, Illinois 60637
