Screening at the Kulturscheune Gut Eibenhof

The FILM WITHOUT BORDERS Festival is organizing an exciting youth program again this year. Students of the 8th grade from the Europaschule Storkow provide the youth jury this year and selected the winning films for this year’s school cinema during a one-week workshop.

Together with filmmakers Anna Faroqhi and Haim Peretz, the young people watched one documentary or feature film a day at the Schukurama cinema in Beeskow, which could fit this year’s festival theme of CONFIDENCE. The main topics were youth and role images, racism, poverty and education. The youth jury decided on two great films:

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

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 teachers teach children and young people in places that are hardly accessible for “normal” teaching – in a nomad tent under the snow cover of Siberia, in a hut in Burkina Faso and on a school boat in Bangladesh. Yet they share a common goal: to help their students find their way to a better future through education. They turn their mission into a true adventure, going far beyond mere teaching: with determination and joy, they teach children to read and write, educate, fight for equal opportunities and preserve ancient cultures.

FSK: 0

Visits to the school cinema are only possible after prior registration of school classes.
