HOW DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR TEACHERS?
Take your seats and face the front: how different are the spaces of the classroom and the cinema?
School is a near-universal experience with deep emotional connections and investments. From Internet role models to constant, polarising debates about teachers and child welfare, we live in an age of great uncertainty around education.
Many famous films about schools and teaching are inspirational dramas — think Good Will Hunting or Dead Poets Society. What about grounded, sensitive films that more deeply explore the challenges and complexities of teaching and school life?
Taking place shortly after the Lexi’s run of Bad Apples, this season invites audiences to experience a range of lesser-seen films about schools from four European countries: France, Slovenia, Croatia and Germany. Two of the four titles have never screened theatrically in the UK outside festivals.
Each screening will include an introduction, with a panel discussion after the final screening.
CLASSROOM CINEMA is a film season curated by Tom Saer, in collaboration with the Film Studies, Programming and Curation Master’s at the National Film and Television School (NFTS).
Bora reunite for more unmissable Brazilian cinema at The Lexi Cinema in partnership with Cine Brazil!
