International Film: Almanya: Welcome to Germany

March 21, 2016
Almanya: Welcome to Germany (2011, Germany) is the international film feature for the weekend of April 1. What constitutes national identity? This is a perplexing question for young Cenk when he is neither chosen for the German nor Turkish soccer teams at his school. And, it’s hard not to be confused when your Turkish grandmother claims German citizenship moments before the family patriarch announces his purchase of a summer home for the family back in Turkey. Humorous cultural misunderstandings season this film that explores one clan’s complex family history.
