  • NTU Center for International Relations and Film Study (IRF-NTU)

  • The 21st century has witnessed the fast-rising of the internet and social media and the entry into the international agenda of new subjects such as cyberattacks, virtual money, and wars with drones, constituting new opportunities and work of the international relations study. To seize this trend and cope with new challenges, the NTU has established this Center to collect films worldwide that focus upon international issues, including refugees, terrorism, energy, climate change, trade, conflicts, financial disturbance, and transnational money laundering. They are classified as practical teaching tools that can help students better understand what was happening on different earth corners.

    In the collection process, we deliberately establish a specific group of films on WWII as today’s global governance and international systems have developed since 1945. Therefore, it is essential to understand how the world interprets WWII and different countries’ role in this global conflict.
