Sleep Furiously (2008)
Set in a small farming community in mid Wales, a place where Koppel's parents - both refugees - found a home. This is a landscape and population that is changing rapidly as small scale agriculture is disappearing and the generation who inhabited a pre-mechanised world is dying out. Much influenced by his conversations with the writer Peter Handke, the film maker leads us on a poetic and profound journey into a world of endings and beginnings; a world of stuffed owls, sheep and fire.

The Children from Jordbro (1996)
An August day 1972, Rainer Hartleb stepped into a classroom in the Stockholm suburb of Jordbro and met the students in class 1D for the first time.

A curious, penetrating and tender portrait of a generation that grew up in the Swedish Million Program in the 1970s and which has become middle-aged in a globalized 2000s.

Language Does Not Lie (2004)
Victor Klemperer (1881-1960), a professor of literature in Dresden, was Jewish; through the efforts of his wife, he survived the war. From 1933 when Hitler came to power to the war's end, he kept a journal paying attention to the Nazis' use of words. This film takes the end of 1945 as its vantage point, with a narrator looking back as if Klemperer reads from his journal. He examines the use of simple words like "folk," "eternal," and "to live." Interspersed are personal photographs, newsreel footage of Reich leaders and of life in Germany then, and a few other narrative devices. Although he's dispassionate, Klemperer's fear and dread resonate

The Lost Children of Berlin (1997)

But amid the countless stories of tragedy and death are the miraculous stories of those who survived. This documentary, produced by Steven Spielberg and the Shoah Foundation and narrated by Anthony Hopkins, tells one of these stories -- that of the last Jewish school in Berlin to be shut down in 1942 and the 50 students who survived the war to meet again at a 1996 reunion in the newly reopened Grosse Hamburgerstrasse School.

Ciske the Rat (1955)
“Ciske de Rat” belongs to the Dickensean “little man’s hard life” model and tells a deceptively simple story about a boy in modern Netherlands. Persecution, loneliness, adults’ hostility, fear, mixture of obstinacy and tenderness, and even an imprisonment. Excellent camera movement and delicate portraying of Ciske’s fragile soul put this film out of merely historical context and ensure its place in the history of great cinema.
