MONDAY MAY 21 FROM THE NETHERLANDS
for more than a few weeks at a time, never staying long enough to form any attachment to either students or colleagues. A perfect profession for one seeking to hide out in the open. When a new assignment places him at a failing public school, Henry’s insular world gradually melts into emotions by three women he meets. Olympia 7

FRANK & CHIP: THE OLYMPIC EXPERIENCE (US) 60mins. Upward Rising Development. Dir: Dan Frank. Key cast: Al Jochim, Frank Haubold, Geri Celestina. Frank and Chip Haubold were the first married couple to compete in the Olympics together. The year was 1936 and they were both gymnasts from New Jersey representing the US. They marched in front of Hitler and were held in low regard because of Frank’s German ancestry (much as was Jesse Owens). Their story is one of love, overcoming the depression, and working tirelessly not only to excel as gymnasts but also to be able to afford the travelling and uniform expenses that were a part of being on the team as there were no corporate sponsors to help them.
