To Be and to Have

To Be and To Have (French: Être et avoir; also the UK title) is a 2002 French documentary film directed by Nicolas Philibert about a small rural school. It was screened as an "Out of Competition" film at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and achieved commercial success. The film became the subject of an unsuccessful legal action by the school's teacher, who said that he and the children's parents had been misled about the film's intended audience, and that he and the children had been exploited.

The documentary's title translates as "to be and to have", the two auxiliary verbs in the French language. It is about a primary school in the commune of Saint-Étienne-sur-Usson, Puy-de-Dôme, France, the population of which is just over 200. The school has one small class of mixed ages (from four to twelve years), with a dedicated teacher, Mr Lopez, who shows patience and respect for the children as we follow their story through a single school year.

The film won several awards, including the 2003 Sacramento French Film Festival Audience Prize.

1. La partie s‘annonce délicate pour le premier secrétaire, si on lui applique cette phrase que, oubliant un instant son échec du 2' mai, il a prononcée samedi à propos de Tony Blair et Jacques Chirac ÷ "Si on veut être écouté, il vaut mieux gagner et ne pas être battu". L‘incertitude est d‘autant plus totale que le courant rénovateur du Nouveau Parti socialiste de Arnaud Montebourg et Vincent Peillon, à la charnière du parti, a réaffirmé samedi, après un léger flottement, qu‘il se compterait au congrès et ne conclurait une alliance, le cas échéant, qu‘à ce moment–là et au vu de l‘orientation proposée par les divers protagonistes.
