Weekender Feature | Tufts professor tells what 'oui' never knew about her filmmaking life in France

Professor of Art and Art History Judith Wechsler leads a double life. As a professor here at Tufts, her lifestyle may seem typical, bounded by the block schedule and the four walls of the classroom, but she is also an artist in her own right: an accomplished filmmaker. Most of her films are in French, so unfortunately, though there are 22 of them, only a few are translated into English. Therefore, her work risks becoming severely divided between France and the U.S.; filmmaking and teaching. Yet, Professor Wechsler does not allow these two realms to exist separately, and instead finds a way to synthesize the two ambitions in an overarching love of art, and more specifically, French art.
