Thursday, February 24 7:00pmLecture by Nicolas Philibert. This gentle and illuminating film on a teacher and his students in rural France has been that country's most successful theatrical documentary feature ever, and here made critics' Top Ten lists. In a one-room school Philibert finds "an ardent celebration of one special stop along the difficult road of becoming a human being."-The New Yorker. Philibert's Documentary Voices lecture precedes the film.View DetailsNicolas Philibert in Conversation (Admission Free!)
