ESCANABA — The next film in the Bay Film Series at Bay College will be “The Souvenir” at 7 p.m. Eastern time Thursday in Bay College’s Besse Center Theater in Escanaba.

Director Joanna Hogg’s drama follows a young film student who gets drawn into a turbulent romance that forces her to examine herself as an artist and a human being.

Vanity Fair’s chief film critic Richard Lawson named it one of the best films released this year. He called it “a quietly devastating movie . . . what coming-of-age movies are supposed to be.” The film stars Honor Swinton Byrne, the daughter of Tilda, who gives a powerful “career-launching” performance.

General admission is only $5 or $2 for students with valid ID and may be purchased at the box office or at www.baycollege.tix.com.
