Performance at the Gut Eibenhof Cultural Barn!

The FILM OHNE GRENZEN Festival is also organizing an exciting youth program this year. 8th-grade students from the Europaschule Storkow are forming this year's youth jury and, as part of a week-long workshop, selected the winning films for this year's school cinema.

Together with filmmakers Anna Faroqhi and Haim Peretz, the teenagers watched a documentary or feature film every day at the Schukurama cinema in Beeskow that could fit this year's festival theme, CONFIDENCE. The focus was primarily on youth and role models, racism, poverty, and education. The youth jury chose two great films:

NENEH SUPERSTAR (France 2022), directed by Ramzi Ben Sliman, and SCHOOLS OF THIS WORLD (France 2021), directed by Émilie Thérond. The youth jury will present both films at the festival and explain their decisions.

Friday, September 1, 2023 FILM OHNE GRENZEN School Cinema in the Kulturscheune Gut Eibenhof:

12:15 PM: Schools of this world (France 2023), directed by Èilie Thérond

SCHOOLS OF THIS WORLD tells the story of Svetlana, Sandrine, and Taslima. The three female teachers educate children and adolescents in places that are barely accessible for “normal” classes – in a nomad tent beneath the snow of Siberia, in a hut in Burkina Faso, and on a school boat in Bangladesh. In doing so, they share a common goal: to enable their students to pave the way to a better future through education. They turn their mission into a true adventure and go far beyond mere teaching: with determination and joy, they teach children how to read and write, educate them, fight for equal opportunities, and preserve ancient cultures.
