The Teachers’ Lounge

(Das Lehrerzimmer)

Nominated for an Oscar in 2024, The Teachers' Lounge follows Carla, a new teacher at a German junior high school. When a series of thefts occur in the school, accusations bounce around the classroom and staff room, and Carla finds herself right in the middle of the drama. As student and teacher suspicions grow, a tense battle of wills occurs between young student Oskar and the young teacher.

This thrilling drama set in everyday surroundings is unlike any other school-based film.  

This screening is presented in association with IFI Schools.
