In 1997, That's Rentertainment and the University YMCA teamed up to bring International Film to the big screen every month in their Reel World International Film Series. The brain child of exiting Director of Programs at the Y, Rebecca Crummey, the series was created to introduce students at the University of Illinois and community members to international films that they may not otherwise have been able to see on the big screen. Films that have been shown at Reel World included: Central Station, Daughters of the Dust, High and Low, Like Water for Chocolate, Gabbeh, M, Il Postino, Red and many, many more.

In 2004, the focus of the program changed and now the films reflect the mission of the many student programs of the University YMCA. The films are free to all and is held on the first Friday of every month (while school is in session) at 7:47pm. Come on down and watch a film that may very well change the way you see the world around you.

The current schedule can be seen at the YMCA's Reel World page.
