Das Experiment (The Experiment)
Dir. Oliver Hirschbiegel, German, 2001
It began as a game in the name of science. Twenty men (eight 'guards' and twelve 'prisoners') in an intense two week investigation into aggressive behaviour in a simulated prison environment. It soon became a quest to survive...
Based on a real life psychological experiment, Oliver Hirschbiegel's debut feature is a resonant, hard-hitting look at the abuse of power and the corruption of authority. Masterfully shot with the use of hidden cameras, the film builds to a bloody and thrilling climax. Nominated as the German contender for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, Das Experiment features a no holds barred performance by Moritz Bleibtreu as Tarek, a heroic undercover journalist who stands up against the brutalities inflicted by the would-be guards.

Evil (Ondskan)
Dir. Mikael Hafstrom, Swedish, 2003
Having been involved in one brawl too many with his fellow students, headstrong teenager Erik Ponti (Andreas Wilson) is expelled from his local school. Attempting to protect Erik from his abusive stepfather's reaction to the news, and as a last ditch effort to enable him to graduate, Erik's mother (Marie Richardson) arranges for him to spend his final academic year at the exclusive Stjarnsberg Boarding School.
Steeped in old traditions, the school believes in the principles of "fraternal upbringing", whereby rules and disciplinary procedures are left in the hands of a council consisting of the school's most senior pupils. Led by the imperious Otto Silverhielm (Gustaf Skarsgard), the council's word is law, with severe and humiliating punishments dealt out to anybody who dares to break the rules. Nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2004.
