Frech Canada’s Oscar Nominee: a popular teacher in a Montreal public elementary school commits suicide, she is replaced by the title character Monsieur Lazhar (Fellag), an Algerian immigrant who helps the children heal while hiding his own political refugee status as well as the fact that his wife and children were murdered by extremist terrorists in his home country.
“The kids fall in love with this rascally Algerian and so do we. (There's also a delightful sub-plot where one of his colleagues falls for him romantically.) A large part of the character's winning qualities are due to Fellag's exquisite performance. Lazhar's good humour, his zest for teaching, his love of children are all worn on this magnificent actor's sleeve whilst he alternately displays, deep in his eyes, the pain of loss that haunts him.” – Greg Klymkiw, Canadian Film Corner

April 27 - June 10, 2012
Encore Gallery - Taos Community Auditorium
The Taos Center for the Arts Encore Gallery is pleased to present “ Young Artists of Taos” a juried and invitational art and photography exhibit.
Included in the show are Domonick Ortiz, Noah Lujan, Aiden Suazo and Lara StrangeOwl from the Taos Pueblo Day School Photo Club. These talented and dedicated young people have begun to develop a wonderful eye and appreciation for composition and meaning that shows in their work.
Jivan Lee’s exquisite paintings are crafted with pallet knives and brushes and occasionally he uses gloves, bare hands, and even dirt. His work is heavy with paint and liberal in its response to reality. Sculptor and jeweler Julie Lake has two pieces of her delicate and organic three dimensional stainless steel forms. Jessica Gaddis’s works are sculptural and whimsical with mediums of wax and found objects. Claire Cote is an instructor at Rivers and Birds, both an artist and ecologist her line drawing transfers on cloth capture the dual aspects of her interests and talents. There are two soft and dreamy photographs by Jessica Rone. Klara Wetmore’s copperplate etchings are lyrical, theatrical figures - one titled “Waking of a Fool”. Also in the show are life drawings by Aaron Garlick and Shannyn Thompson, and strong photographic portraits by Adeliza Bacus-Pace.
Please join us for a reception for the artists on Friday, May 4, 2012 from 5 PM to 7 PM

In his warm and witty follow-up to the 2010 sleeper hit “Mid-August Lunch”,
writer-director-actor Gianni Di Gregorio has created another sparkling comedy—this time with a dash of the bittersweet. In “The Salt of Life”, Gianni plays a middle-aged retiree who has become invisible to all distaff Romans, regardless of age or relation. He contends with an aristocratic, spendthrift mother (again played by Lunch’s great nonagenarian Valeria de Franciscis); a wife who is more patronizing friend than romantic partner; a daughter (played by Di Gregorio’s daughter Teresa) with a slacker boyfriend whom Gianni unwillingly befriends; and a wild young neighbor who sees him merely as her dog walker. Watching his “codger” friends snare beautiful younger women on the sun-kissed cobblestones of Trastevere, Gianni tries his polite, utterly gracious best to generate some kind of extracurricular love life—with both hilarious and poignant results.

Star soprano Anna Netrebko takes on the legendary title role in Donizetti’s bel canto masterpiece, which has been a musical and dramatic showpiece for many of history’s greatest singers. The opera, based on the final tragic days of Anne Boleyn, makes its Met premiere in a new production by David McVicar, whose staging of Il Trovatore was a best-selling Live in HD presentation last season. Powerhouse Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova sings the role of Giovanna Seymour, Bolena’s lady-in-waiting and romantic rival; Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov is the cruel King Enrico (Henry) VIII; and Stephen Costello and Tamara Mumford are the queen’s allies, Lord Percy and Smeaton. Italian conductor Marco Armiliato leads the MET Orchestra in what is widely considered one of Donizetti’s finest scores.

Earthship Biotecture and the Taos Center for the Arts present “Garbage Warrior” a film by Oliver Hodge and a talk with Eco architect Michael Reynolds on September 27, 2012 at 5:30 PM at the Taos Community Auditorium.
About "Garbage Warrior"
What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you’re renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of “Earthship Biotecture” by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy state standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities, who are backed by big business. Frustrated by antiquated legislation, Reynolds lobbies for the right to create a sustainable living test site. While politicians hum and ha, Mother Nature strikes, leaving communities devastated by tsunamis and hurricanes. Reynolds and his crew seize the opportunity to lend their pioneering skills to those who need it most. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior is a timely portrait of a determined visionary, a hero of the 21st century. Running time 80 min.
