Vincent van Gogh
Leben und Werk
Vincent van Gogh, geboren 1853 in den Niederlanden, kommt erst spät zur Kunst. Zwar beginnt er bereits mit 16 Jahren eine Lehre in der Kunstgalerie seines Onkels, doch erst nach seiner dortigen Entlassung, nach einem gescheiterten Theologiestudium und seiner Missionarstätigkeit, entschließt er sich die Kunst zum Beruf zu machen. Der Film zeigt die Streben des Vincent van Goghs nach seiner Maleridentität und das Scheitern an sich selbst. Bilder wie „Die Kartoffelesser“, „Sternennacht“, zahlreiche Selbstportraits und seine Sonnenblumenserie zeugen von dem Wandel seines Könnens. Geprägt von Depression und Wahnsinn schafft er ein Kunstwerk nach dem anderen, doch erlebt er seinen Erfolg aufgrund seines frühen Tods 1890 nicht mehr.

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
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.
