Wadsworth Atheneum is holding its second annual Interfaith Film Festival, co-presented by the Connecticut Council for Interreligious Understanding, with three films that present challenges to bridge the divide between religions.

The festival opens Sunday, Feb. 1, with “The Other Son,” a 2012 French drama about an Israeli man and a Palestinian man who discover that they were switched at birth.

The festival continues on Sunday, Feb. 8, with “Kinyarwanda,” a Rwandan film from 2011 about the 1994 genocide, during which Muslims and Christians had to band together or die together.

The final film, on Sunday, Feb. 15, is “Eve and the Fire Horse,” a 2005 Canadian family drama about a Buddhist family whose daughter wants to convert to Christianity.

Showtime is 2 p.m. daily at the Aetna theater at the art museum at 600 Main St. in Hartford. Speakers will accompany the screenings. Admission is $9; $8 seniors and students; $7 members; Free for Insider Access Members. Information: www.thewadsworth.org.
