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. 

For the film on October 10, guests are invited to join us in the John Deere Auditorium for a FREE screening of Black Dog (2024) - China. Released from jail, Lang returns to his hometown in Northwest China. As part of a dog patrol tasked with clearing stray dogs before the 2008 Olympics, he bonds with a stray black dog.
