"The Tournees Film Festival at UNA provides a unique cinematic experience for the Shoals community to screen six international films. Since the beginning, this event has been an interdisciplinary collaboration among UNA faculty from various departments, including Foreign Languages, English, History, Sociology and Family Studies, Communications, Music, Cinematic Arts, and Visual Arts and Design. This year, the event sponsors also include the Mitchell-West Center for Social Inclusion and the UNA School of the Arts."
