We are 16 pupils from grade 9 and 10 (so 14-16 years old) at the Integrated Comprehensive School (IGS) Herder. Our school is located in the centre of Frankfurt, just around the corner from the zoo.
Every Tuesday we have 4 school hours time for the CCAJ project. The filmmaker Adrian Oeser is coming to our class every week to work with us.
In the classroom, we have already watched some film excerpts, starting with a few short films by the Lumière brothers. In addition to film theory, we also received an introduction to a camera, which we will use to shoot the exercises.
In October, we have been to the German Film Museum, our cultural partner, where we visited the permanent exhibition and watched a documentary in the cinema, « One in a Million » (Joya Thome, 2022).
