"The Gleaners and I" - (NR; 1 hour, 22 minutes - in French with English subtitles) -  Free - An 1867 painting by Jean-Francois Millet inspired septuagenarian documentarian Agnes Varda to cross the French countryside to videotape people who scavenge. Taking everything from surplus in the fields, to rubbish in trashcans, to oysters washed up after a storm, the "gleaners" range from those sadly in need to those hoping to recreate the community activity of centuries past, and still others who use whatever they find to cobble together a rough art. Highlighted by Varda's amusing narration. This is a free event with no tickets or reservations. Plays Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 6 p.m. This film is presented in partnership with Healthy Lincoln County and the Lincoln County Gleaners.
