the Wave

WAFS invites you this Sunday 1st of March to see the screening of "The Wave" by Dennis Gansel.

Synopsis:


25 years after the fall of Hitler's Germany, no student believes that fascism could grip the world again. Rainer Wegner, a history teacher, decides to challenge his student's arrogance and boredom with a self-made experiment. Starting by instilling discipline into the classroom, Rainer's experiment, "The Wave", soon spirals down into the very heart of fascism itself and out of his very control...

Based on a true story.

Dekalog (Sins 5 and 6)

WAFS invites you this Sunday 8th of February to see the screening of two episodes of the legendary "Dekalog" by Krzysztof Kieślowski.

Synopsis:


The premise of the Dekalog is to take the 10 commandments and narrate a short story based on each of them. Rather than plainly exploring the consequences of breaching each commandment, the stories explore the many aspects of the human condition with a humane eye.

The following episodes are based on the commandments: "Thou shalt not Kill" and "Thou shalt not commit Adultery". Both were made into feature films: "A short film about Killing" and "A short film about Love".
