2025 Global Media Festival Film Screening: "Le Regne Animal" + Live Q&A
Join us for a screening of Le Règne Animal, the critically acclaimed film that received 12 nominations at the 49th César Awards and won five, including Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects!
Set in a world where a mysterious condition is transforming some humans into animals, François fights to save his wife as she succumbs to the mutation. When the creatures disappear into the nearby forest, he and his 16-year-old son, Émile, embark on a journey that will change their lives forever. Combining gripping storytelling with stunning visuals, Le Règne Animal explores identity, transformation, and the boundaries between human and nature.

Global Media Festival
The Global Media Festival is Georgia Tech’s annual film and discussion series focusing on sustainability and the UN SDGs across languages and cultures.
The GMF 2025 is part of Ivan Allen College’s Year of Liberal Arts, a year-long exploration of the intersection of humanities and STEM, transforming the future of education and research. This year’s festival is a collaboration among faculty from the School of Modern Languages, School of Literature, Media, and Communication, and School of History and Sociology.
The 2025 lineup features 10 curated events showcasing films from Canada, China, Cuba, France, Germany, India, Japan, the Middle East, Russia, and the United States. Through exclusive discussions with directors, screenwriters, and experts, we will explore global issues including food production, eco-tourism, land use, climate change, gender inequality, autism, and war & peace.
All screenings are free and open to the public! Events take place in the Cypress and Walter G. Ehmer (formerly Atlantic) Theaters at Georgia Tech’s John Lewis Student Center. In addition to promoting sustainability, the festival celebrates global food culture—free international cuisine will be provided at select events.
