Director's Comments

A film I made for a school project. It's about a little girl and her robot teacher. Don't be fooled by the final remark of high educational value.

Staff Review

Sméagol:
Don't be put off by the plain thumbnail image above -- this is an impressive and visually striking effort.  Aided by the use of a short story by Isaac Asimov (one I was not familiar with) this film provides an interesting commentary on modern education, set in a memorable, science fiction environment.  The .ogg format this video is currently available in may require you to install some software in order to play - I recommend VLC - but this film is well worth the download if you enjoy brickfilms with some depth.  Note that it is in German with subtitles, so unless you speak German you'll be reading the dialog.
