Specialty Films:
Documentary, International & Independent


Show your students the best in independent cinema, festival favorites, foreign films, documentaries and specialty titles.

Add specialty movies to your existing film series or partner with other groups on campus who might have a vested interest in the subject matter of the picture. These films can make up an interesting and informative series on your campus that will attract a group of students who might not normally attend a blockbuster film.

Please contact your Swank Account Executive for more information on how to include these films into your movie calendar.
