Teacher Bachmann and his class Herr Bachmann und seine klasse (2021) Genres: Documentary Country: Germany Director: Maria Speth Language: German with Lithuanian subtitles Runtime: 217 min Age: N-7 An intimate documentary about the relationship between teacher and students. Children from nine countries and very different cultures are gathered in one classroom in a small industrial town in Germany. Teacher Bachmann has been working in this social minefield for seventeen years. His methods are unusual. He is a former revolutionary, a dropout, a folk singer and a sculptor. His biggest goal is to instil in every child that he is valuable, that he is not nothing. "What a light and inspiration this film is! Although Maria Speth has defied the industry's standards of film length, it doesn't drag on, not only because of the engrossing life of the classroom and the dilemmas of its pupils, but also because in the light of the film, you are constantly transported back to your own memories of teachers, and of the one who is usually more important than others. A film full of a silent but powerful unifying force, reminding us of the importance of an authoritative companion not only for children, but also for adults in uncertainty." (Aistė Račaitytė) Director Maria Speth and cinematographer Reinhold Vorschneider reveal that education is not only an important but also a fascinating process.
