Etre et avoir! To Be and to Have!

Être et avoir (2002) is een Franse documentaire die over een van de vele Franse dorpsschooltjes gaat.

De film werd geregisseerd door Nicolas Philibert. De documentaire volgt de kinderen van een klein plattelandsschooltje (Saint-Étienne-sur-Usson) en hun meester Georges Lopez.
Deze film won in 2002 de prijs voor beste documentaire op het Valladolid International Film Festival, de Prix Louis Delluc, de "Best Documentary Award" op de European Film Awards. In 2003 won het de juryprijs op het Full Frame Documentary Film Festival en een César voor beste montage. In 2004 won het een NSFC Award als beste documentaire.
In 2003 was de film genomineerd voor drie Césars, waarvan de twee andere nominaties voor beste regisseur en beste film waren. De film was in 2004 genomineerd voor een DGGB Award van de Directors Guild of Great Britain in de categorie "Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Foreign Language Film" en voor de BAFTA Film Award op de BAFTA Awards als beste niet-Engelstalige film.


To Be and To Have (French: Être et avoir) is a 2002 French documentary film directed by Nicolas Philibert. It was nominated as an "Out of Competition" film at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

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, Georges 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.

Binnenhof, The Hague, the Dutch Parliament!


The Binnenhof (Dutch, literally "inner court"), is a complex of buildings in The Hague. It has been the location of meetings of the Staten-Generaal, the Dutch parliament, since 1446, and has been the centre of Dutch politics for many centuries.




The grounds on which the Binnenhof now stands were purchased by Count Floris IV of Holland in 1229, where he built his mansion, next to the little lake that has been called Hofvijver or 'Court Pond' since the 13th century. More buildings were constructed around the court, several of which are well known in their own right, such as the Ridderzaal (Great Hall; literally Knight's Hall), where the queen holds her annual speech at Prinsjesdag. One of the towers, simply known as het Torentje ('the Little Tower'; directly next to the Mauritshuis museum) has been the office of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands since 1982.
