Farewell Amor (2020)

Shown as part of the Beyond Borders: Stories of Immigration and Migration Join the Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (CGLLC), International Student Services (ISS), and the Coalition for Immigrant Student Advancement (CISA) for a film festival focused on the experiences of immigrants across political, national, and identity borders. Each film invites attendees to reflect on powerful stories, timely explorations for this political moment. "Ekwa Msangi’s tender drama shows us that goodbyes haunt immigrants wherever they go. Split into three chapters, the film depicts a family's reunion from each character’s perspective, switching from the wide shot of the opening to a more intimate, point-of-view style. Each version deepens our understanding of the characters by highlighting new details." — New York Times Reunited after a 17-year separation, Walter, an Angolan immigrant, is joined in the U.S. by his wife and teenage daughter. Now absolute strangers sharing a one-bedroom apartment, they discover a shared love of dance that may help overcome the emotional distance between them. Beyond Borders: Stories of Immigration and Migration is sponsored by the Williams College Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; International Student Services; Coalition for Immigrant Student Advancement; the Davis Center; the Department of Romance Languages; Fellowships; and Global Education and Study AwayRomancePT1H41M2025-05-08
