Please join the Ivy Circle from 7- 8:30pm for a private drinks with the young director Jeremy Teicher before the screening of his film Tall as the Baobab Tree which starts at 8:30pm. Teicher graduated from Dartmouth College in 2010 and has directed several films already.

A powerful voice from Africa’s young generation, Tall as the Baobab Tree (Grand comme le Baobab) poignantly depicts a family struggling to find its footing at the outer edge of the modern world… where questions of right and wrong are not always black and white
