Film: If You Don't, I Will:
The film will be shown on Wednesday April 8th at 6:30 pm and on Friday April 10th at 1:30 pm. It is in French with English subtitles.

Two of France's busiest and most talented actors, Emmanuelle Devosifyoudontiwill (Coco Before Chanel) and Mathieu Amalric (The Grand Budapest Hotel), star in this smart, modern romantic comedy from acclaimed director Sophie Fillieres. Pomme and Pierre have been together a long time - long enough that passion and spontaneity have given way to predictability and cold shoulders. On a hike together one afternoon, Pomme declares her independence by staying in the woods rather than returning to an underwhelming life at home. Pierre, despite his concern for Pomme, seems all too capable of adapting to life as a bachelor, a worrisome realization. As Pomme begins an extended meditation in the forest on where her own life should go next, both are left to contemplate the strength and meaning of each other's commitment. Is it worth the effort it will take to get them back to where they used to be?
