Alexander
Explorer and Conqueror
Without doubt, after Alexander the Great, the world was not the same as before.
During his reign of only elven years, he founded the largest world empire in the history of antiquity.
He conquered Asia Minor, Egypt and Persia and advanced as far as India.
Due to his conquests, the Greek and oriental cultures blended into Hellenism, which shaped the ancient world for more than 300 years.
Alexander was one of the most important commanders and statesmen in history. An impressive personality with a strong will.
He risked his own life in battles and was a model of courage and vigour for his soldiers.
He could be generous towards his minions and adversaries, but also very cruel.
He was intent on expanding Greek civilisation to the end of the known world.
But who was the real Alexander, subject of numerous legends?

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
Pupils Practise Inclusion
When people come together, no matter under what concomitant circumstances – ultimately, it is about how these people meet and how openly they interact with one another.
The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
