School screenings

Spend educational hours at the cinema!

Pedagogically valuable films regularly make it into our programme, which can be integrated excellently into the school curriculum or can offer valuable education even without this framework. In the following list you will find current and upcoming films that are particularly suitable for student screenings. Of course, it is possible for all film titles to have a student screening at special conditions.

School screenings are to be understood as an educational event, i.e. the performances are usually played without an intermission and without consumption.

PRESSURE

Release date: 17 September 2026

By Anthony Maras, with Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon

England, June 1944: Under the supreme command of U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the largest naval invasion in history is about to take place. But the success of the Allied landing in Normandy depends on a single, unpredictable factor: the weather. In the decisive 72 hours leading up to D-Day, British Chief Meteorologist Captain James Stagg must issue the most momentous weather forecast of his life. As the pressure mounts relentlessly, he finds himself in a bitter conflict with the Allied military leadership. Only a few hours remain to find the narrow window of opportunity that could determine the success or failure of the invasion—and thus the fate of millions of people.

NAZA

Release date: 01 October 2026

By Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor

NAZA is an 80-minute 2026 documentary by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, produced by The Guardian and JW Films, on systems they say sit behind mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The title is slang for expected civilian deaths.

VATERLAND

Release date: 08 October 2026

By Pawel Pawlikowski, with Sandra Hüller, Anna Madeley, August Diehl

After the end of World War II, Nobel Prize-winning author Thomas Mann and his daughter, the actress, author, and cabaret artist Erika, embark on a journey through a Germany in ruins—from Frankfurt in the American occupation zone to Soviet-controlled Weimar. On the occasion of the Goethe anniversary, people on both sides of the inner-German border hope for words of comfort, approval, and forgiveness from the greatest of all storytellers. Amid euphoric Wagner heirs and literarily sophisticated generals, Germany’s most important writer is courted and sometimes even berated, while the drama of his own family quietly escalates. It is the first time since the war that Thomas Mann has returned to his homeland, from which he had once fled into exile. A journey into the wounded German soul, meant to heal—for Erika and “the Magician,” as his children often called Thomas Mann, it becomes a journey into the very depths of their being.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

Release date: 15 October 2026

By Georgia Oakley, with Daisy Edgar-Jones, Caitriona Balfe, Fiona Shaw


England, circa 1800: Following the death of their father, the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, are forced to leave their home and face an uncertain future. The level-headed Elinor keeps her feelings for Edward Ferrars a secret, as a future together seems hopeless due to social and family obstacles. The younger Marianne, on the other hand, openly follows her heart and falls head over heels in love with the charismatic John Willoughby. Caught between hope, disappointment, and the constraints of their time, both sisters must find their own path and realize that neither cold reason nor passionate feelings alone lead to happiness.
