Sun 18 Mar, 4 pm. The Gleaners / Glaneurs et la glaneuse, (2000, Agnes Varda, France) An intimate, picaresque inquiry into French life as lived by the country's poor and its provident, as well as by the film's own director. The aesthetic, political and moral point of departure for Varda are gleaners, those individuals who pick at already-reaped fields for the odd potato, the leftover turnip. 859 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal H3A 2K6.

Sun 25 Mar, 4 pm. Microcosmos (Claude Nuridsany, 1996) Using revolutionary cameras, the directors of this French film (with minimal English-language narration) have made an amazing chronicle of the insect world. There are at least a dozen fascinating, memorable images, and the carnage is held to a minimum. Some favorites include a caterpillar traffic jam, a frog's bout with a rain storm, and a bird that turns into Godzilla for a bunch of ants. Then there's the snail mating scene. All accompanied by an award-winning musical score. 859 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal H3A 2K6. Ingrid Birker, 514-398-4086 ext. 4094. free with donation.
