The Class (Klass)
Estonian film, The Class (KLASS) wil be screened at the 2008 Sydney Film Festival. The program guide is on the website

Award winner at Karlovy Vary and Warsaw Film Festivals, this confronting feature was inspired by the Columbine High School massacre, but director Raag takes a different approach from Gus Van Sant’s Elephant. The violence in this case is trigged by a brutal bout of bullying, something that started out as a lark but turned nasty. Sixteen-year-old Joosep has been picked on all his life, but when newcomer Kaspar intervenes, he finally thinks he can stop it.
After the two join forces the rest of the class turns against them. Raag workshopped the script with schoolkids and the young cast (all amateurs) and the result has a ring of authenticity which makes it all the more powerful.
