THE IFS & THE FRENCH CLUB PRESENT: TO BE AND TO HAVE, dir. Nicolas Philibert, France, 2003 Tuesday, November 18, 6:30pm, CLO110 https://youtube/watch?v=S49qvE86Qs0 Director Nicolas Philibert lets his camera become a silent student in the classroom...the film is entirely made up of impromptu moments with the students. The children — about a dozen of them, ranging from preschoolers to preteens — occasionally seem distracted, smiling toothily at the camera. But for the most part, theyre natural and charming, intent on their teachers face, puzzling through the process of learning... Each scene is about more than it seems on the surface; you wonder what these children will remember from those days — not the camera, but the moment when the multiplication table made sense, or the day Monsieur Lopez taught them to flip a perfect crepe. --Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times
