********************
Tonight, as the holidays approach, we present Paris Je t’aime - an ensemble of short films that brings together 18 international acclaimed directors. Paris Je t’aime is a collective ode to the magical,innately lyrical place of the city of lights. The result, while bursting with perhaps, a few too many stories is well worth a viewing for the performance and stories that are at once haunting, charming, relatable and life-affirming. Given only a few minutes to present their segment, each director spins their own Parisian love song within a different district of the sprawling city. The scenes are charming enough, especially with an omnipresent tinkling of French accordions in the background to give the film an airy, sentimental feeling; but love is not always sweet, and the stories that deftly examine non-romantic love, and even loss and longing, prove to be the most moving of the entire collection.

All screenings are held in Caspary Auditorium on Monday nights at 8 p.m. Admission is free and open to the Tri-Institutional community.
Guests and family members are welcome.
