Favoriten

Favoriten is a 2024 Austrian documentary film, named after Vienna's tenth district in which the action is set, directed by Ruth Beckermann. It is a film about teaching and learning in what some consider the equivalent of an inner-city school in Austria's largest city in response to recent migrations. It is a hopeful movie, with often surprising experiences oscillating between the roles of learner and teacher. The central theme revolves around a class of 25 elementary students whose engaged teacher is doing what is in her might to create chances for her students that they otherwise, for a lack of education in the parental home and a lack of school-institutional support alike, would not have.
