Mark your calenders!

The award winning and critically acclaimed film, Universal Language (2024) plays Saturday May 31st at 7pm CST in the RPL Film Theatre!

Universal Language is Canadian absurdist comedy drama film, co-written and directed by Matthew Rankin.

Receiving positive reviews from critics, it was named one of the top 5 international films of 2024 by the National Board of Review. The film was also selected as the Canadian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.

Set in an alternate reality in which Persian, rather than English, the dominant language of Canada, it remains in coexistence with French. Described as a "surreal comedy of disorientation" set "somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg", the film blends the initially unrelated, but gradually converging, stories of Negin (Rojina Esmaeili) and Nazgol (Saba Vahedyousefi), who find money frozen in ice and try to claim it; Massoud (Pirouz Nemati), a tour guide in Winnipeg who is leading a confused and disoriented tour group; and Matthew (Rankin), who quits his unfulfilling job with the government of Quebec and travels home to Winnipeg to visit his mother.

Free Admission | Saturday May 31st - 7:00 PM CST | Canada | 2024 | 89 min | NR | Directed by Matthew Rankin
