The Graduate Student Association's Critically Acclaimed Film Experience (C.A.F.E.), a free film series featuring international and art house films, starts its fall semester lineup with two movies this weekend.

For its domestic feature this week, GSA presents Kissing Jessica Stein at 7 and 9:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday in 101 Chambers building.

In this R-rated romantic comedy, Jessica Stein is a single, straight, sucessful, journalist and part of a bonded Jewish family living in New York City.

However, Jessica finds herself not as straight as she thought when she meets and then begins an intense friendship -- that eventually leads to a romance -- with a successful career woman.

For its international feature, GSA begins the C.A.F.E. season with Monsoon Wedding at 6:30 and 8:45 p.m. Friday and Saturday in 112 Chambers building.

This romantic comedy is a story set in the modern, upper-middle class of India, where telecommunications and a western lifestyle mix with old traditions. Aditi ends an affair with a married TV producer and accepts an arranged marriage to an Indian living in Texas, and all relatives from both families -- some from distant places like Australia -- come to New Delhi during the monsoon season to attend the wedding. The four-day celebration is full of clumsy organization, family parties and drama, dangers to the happy end of the wedding, lots of music and even a new romance for the wedding planner Dubey.

These films are open to the entire community.
