Foreign Film Screening

In August we will show

The Chorus ( Les Choristes)
in French with English subtitles    
Director: Christophe Barratier

Thursday, August 28
Snell Auditorium
5.30 p.m. - 7.30 p.m.

 

 



 

 

Clément Mathieu (Gérard Jugnot) is the new prefect (a supervisor of sorts who ranks just below the headmaster) at a boarding school for troubled children in need of discipline. On his first day on the job, Clément realizes he faces a formidable task. The children are rowdy, disrespectful, and show no regard for education or authority. At the risk of his job, he decides there must be a better way to reach and inspire the children. He finds that inspiration in his own passion, music. The Chorus is an award-winning, Oscar-nominated (Best Original Song, Best Foreign Language Film) Miramax-distributed French film.

Here are some of the Artsparks performing arts projects you can hear and see on the web:
