Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
BERLIN REBEL HIGH SCHOOL
Synopsis
Hidden in one of Berlin’s backyards is one of Germany’s most ambitious high schools. What makes it so special? It is entirely organized by its students – without any outside funding. The pupils pay their own teachers and decide what they want to learn. No headmaster, no hierarchy and no pressure.

Our take
What would a school devoid of its ruling power look like in real life? This doc by first-time filmmaker Alexander Kleider goes behind the scenes of such unusual yet not-so-utopian scenario. An ode to the inner virtues of learning that will move you, prompt a smile and incite you to act all at once.
