France, 2008, 2h 8m, French with subtitles.
This remarkable film, based around improvised scenes in a real-life Paris classroom, offers a fresh and gripping account of the dynamics in multi-ethnic France. Teacher Francois attempts to instil respect and discipline into his resistant pupils until one day his patience is tried too far. No one is left unquestioned in this absorbing and uncompromising take on Parisian school life.

Germany, 2007, 1hr 25min
Auschwitz was not what young German Sven had in mind when he volunteered to complete his civil service abroad. Sven befriends Stanislaw, a former prisoner who never left Auschwitz and now spends his days giving contemporary witness lectures and conserving suitcases belonging to the dead. As the weeks go by, Sven begins to discover both Auschwitz and O?wi?cim, the place of horror and the Polish town, the memorial to inhumanity and the tourist industry that has sprung up around it.
