Shorts Program: A Day in the Country and Sunshine for the Poor

A Day in the Country (40min) | Dir. Jean Renoir

French director Jean Renoir puts his humanist, nature-drenched spin on the tender, comedic Guy de Maupassant story, which follows the unexpected romantic fallout of an urban family’s French countryside day trip.

Sunshine for the Poor (55min) | Dir. Alain Guiraudie

A young woman and a shepherd, both from different worlds, encounter each other and unexpectedly spend a day criss-crossing the Causses’ high plains looking for some of the shepherd’s animals that have wandered off.
