Billings Farm & Museum, gateway to Vermont's rural heritage,
is hosting the award-winning film, Le Havre, on Saturday, Jan. 26,
at 3 p.m. as part of the 3rd Annual Woodstock Vermont Film
Series.
Le Havre is the whimsical tale of Marcel Marx, a noted Parisian
author living in self-imposed exile in the port city of Le Havre.
Dividing most of his time between his neighborhood bar and caring
for his bedridden wife, Marcel finds himself alive with a new sense
of purpose when he comes to the aid of a young African trying to
reunite with his mother in London and on the run from immigration
police. Le Havre is a gentle, yet profound comedy of friendship,
random acts of kindness, and small acts of revolution. The
film is NR, with subtitles. Awards include Cannes Film
Festival, FIPRESCI Prize; additional 11 wins, 16 nominations.
Fourteen films and documentaries from around the world have been
selected for the big screen in the museum's theater, with high
definition digital projection and Dolby™ surround-sound. All films
are open to the public and accessible to people with
disabilities.
Ticket prices: Members: Adults 16 & up, $9 per
film. Children 3-15, $5 per film. Non-members: Adults 16 &
up, $11 per film. Children 3-15, $6 per film. For a complete list
