UC Presents Foreign Van Damme Film

Utica, NY (02/13/2009) - JCVD, the self-parody motion picture starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, will be featured at Utica College on Thursday, Feb. 19 as part of the Film@UC series. The free event begins at 7 p.m. in Macfarlane Auditorium, DePerno Hall, and is open to the community.

JCVD, an acronym for the martial artists’ name, tells the story of Van Damme, a washed-up actor who has just lost custody of his young daughter. He then returns to Brussels, his hometown, and becomes involved in a bank heist that he did not commit. Through sequences of familiar Van-Damme-like action scenes, the star is forced to save lives and become a hero, despite the falsity of the crime. The French film was released last summer and runs 96 minutes. It is rated “R” for language and violence.

Van Damme has starred in over 30 feature films including the fight-filled action movies Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier. For more information about Film@UC, contact Jeffrey Miller, associate professor of communications, at (315) 792-3086 or jmiller@utica.edu.
