In Six Days in Spring, a single mother--who is determined to give her twin boys a spring vacation after her original plans collapse—trespasses at her former in-laws’ luxury villa on the Riviera, a place she once called home. Joined by the twins’ soccer coach, secretly her boyfriend, they cautiously savor six sun-drenched days. Directed by Joachim Lafosse, (The White Knights, BWF 2015), the film simmers with an ever-so-slight tension beneath its radiant setting.


Speaker: Haleigh Burgon, a PhD candidate in French and Francophone Studies at Boston University,at Boston University. Her dissertation investigates how French and Francophone women writers and creators use representations of motherhood and memory to exercise resilience and articulate creative agency. Her research focuses particularly on Francophone literature and film from North Africa and the Caribbean, with attention to gender, postcolonial identity, and narrative voice.


Belmont World Film's 24th International Film Series, "Thicker than water," explores the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us— through an intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all their complexity. Across cultures and continents, these films ask what we inherit, what we carry, and what we owe one another.


All of the selections were official entries at the world’s major film festivals, with several receiving top honors. The films span four continents and feature ten different languages, including Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Darija, Dutch, French, Greek, Greenlandic, Quechua, Spanish, and Ukrainian—reflecting the many voices and vantage points that shape our shared human story.
