Appreciate the art of cinema? Join us to watch and discuss a foreign film led by members of Geneva’s International Cultural Exchange Committee. This month's film selection is Monsieur Lazhar (Canada). Bachir Lazhar, an Algerian immigrant, is hired to replace an elementary school teacher who died tragically. While the class goes through a long healing process, nobody in the school is aware of Bachir's painful former life, nor that he is at risk of being deported at any moment. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2012 Academy Awards. Winner of Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011. Rated PG-13. 1h 34m.
