Join us for Knit Night every Thursday at 5:30pm!
Bring a project (knitting, crochet, or anything fiber related!) and chat with fellow knitters and other crafters about what you’re working on, troubleshooting, new project ideas, or just come and hang out while enjoying delicious food + drinks. A casual and welcoming group that meets every week, all skill levels are welcome!
99 minutes. Rated PG-13. Directed by Ilker Çatak. In German, Turkish, Polish, and English with English subtitles. DCP.
Nominated for Best International Feature at this year’s Academy Awards!
Carla Nowak (Leonie Benesch) is a dedicated, idealistic young teacher in her first job at a German middle school. Her relaxed rapport with her seventh-grade students is put under stress when a series of thefts occur at the school, and a staff investigation leads to accusations and mistrust among outraged parents, opinionated colleagues, and angry students. Caught in the middle of these complex dynamics, Carla tries to mediate—but the more she tries to do everything right, the more desperate her position becomes.
With The Teachers’ Lounge, award-winning director İlker Çatak (I Was, I Am, I Will Be) creates a riveting work about school as a microcosm of society. Starring as a dedicated young teacher, Leonie Benesch (The White Ribbon, Babylon Berlin, Around the World In 80 Days) drives an intense atmosphere through her captivating portrayal of an idealist caught between clashing sides. The Teachers’ Lounge is a study in power dynamics, with themes of truth, justice, racism, respect, and children’s rights that demonstrate how individuals are worn down between entrenched positions.
Other strong roles are played by Eva Löbau, Michael Klammer, and, making his film debut in the lead child role, Leo Stettnisch. Cinematographer Judith Kaufmann (Corsage) was responsible for the visual design’s ominous mood.
