ETRE et AVOIR

ETRE et AVOIR
Nicolas Philibert (2002)

Statement van Philibert:

There are still, almost everywhere in France, single-classroom schools that bring together, under the same schoolteacher, all the children from the same village, from nursery age to their last year of primary education.

Whether their individual members are withdrawn or outgoing, these assorted little groups share everyday life, for the best and for the worst.

It was in one of these schools, somewhere in the heart of the Auvergne, that my film was shot.

Inhoud:

Inspired by the French phenomenon of ‘single-class’ schools ÊTRE ET AVOIR charts the life of a small one-class village school over the course of one academic year, and takes a warm and serene look at primary education in the French heartlands.

A dozen youngsters, aged 4-10, are brought together in one classroom and taught every subject by one single teacher of extraordinary dedication.

A master in quiet authority, schoolteacher Georges Lopez patiently navigates the children towards adolescence, cooling down their arguments and listening to their problems.
