CF Ira Holmes International Film Series Features ‘Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom’

The College of Central Florida Ira Holmes International Film Series will complete its season Tuesday, April 9, with the award-winning film “Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom.”

Directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji, this 2019 film from Bhutan, South Asia, outlines the endearing story of a young disillusioned schoolteacher who is transferred to the most remote school in the world, cut off from modern life deep in the Himalayan glaciers. In a classroom with no electricity or even a blackboard, he finds himself with only a yak and a song that echoes through the mountains.

A screening will begin at 2 p.m. at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., and is free to all museum and film series members; nonmembers pay museum admission. A second screening will begin at 7 p.m. at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road, Building 8, Room 110. The screening at the CF Ocala Campus is free and open to the public.
