This fall, Free Film at the Figge presents a selection of distinguished Cannes Film Festival Un Certain Regard Award winners. Un Certain Regard, meaning 'a certain glance,' is a prestigious section of the Cannes Film Festival that runs parallel to the regular competition for the Palme d’Or, the festival’s highest award. Un Certain Regard focuses on artistically daring films with unusual styles and non-traditional stories, new trends, and new countries of origin. 

Join us at the Figge in the Figge's John Deere Auditorium on November 7 for a FREE screening of Great Freedom (2021) - Austria / Germany. In post-war Germany, Hans, having previously been imprisoned in a concentration camp, is incarcerated again and again for infringing on Nazi anti-gay laws, which are still on the books. The one steady relationship in his life becomes his long-time cellmate, Viktor, a convicted murderer. What starts as revulsion grows into something called love. Un Certain Regard Jury Prize, Cannes Film Festival.
