Whether you're new to William Faulkner and his works or an avid follower of his work - we invite you to check out the award-winning film Faulkner: The Past Is Never Dead. This documentary film shares William Faulkner's upbringing, the struggles and achievements he ran into and how all of this culminated into one of the most relevant and important figures in American literature. As we've screened these films, we are traveling around the world to see how Faulkner has influenced global cultures from France to Japan to Russia and beyond.

This film will be viewable from September 5th - September 7th to allow our audience to check out the film ahead of a live Q&A (on Zoom) with our Japanese Faulkner Scholar Koichi Fujino.
