TO BE AND TO HAVE
Wednesday, March 31 -- 7pm & 9:15pm

A powerful tribute to the teaching profession.
At a rural school in the Auvergne region of France, teacher Georges Lopez presides over a class of thirteen children, ages 4 to 11. Director Nicholas Philibert's camera is a casual observer, choosing to capture, in an unfettered manner, Lopez's special way with the students. Inspiring, meditative, and delightful, TO BE AND TO HAVE is a bittersweet portrait of a man in the noblest of professions. France, 2002, color, in French w Eng subt., 104 mins., unrated.
