MR. BACHMANN AND HIS CLASS is an intimate documentary portraying the bond between an elementary school teacher and his students. His unconventional teaching methods clash with the complex social and cultural realities of the provincial German industrial town in which they live.

Palme D'Or winner Jacques Audiard (RUST AND BONE, DHEEPAN) returns with an adaptation of KILLING AND DYING, the graphic novel by Adrian Tomine, a modern tale of love and friendship, co-written with Léa Mysius and Céline Sciamma and filmed in a sumptuous black and white.

Amidst a worldwide pandemic that causes sudden amnesia, Aris finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help unclaimed patients build new identities. Prescribed daily tasks on cassette tapes so he can create new memories and document them on camera, Aris slides back into ordinary life, meeting Anna, a woman who is also in recovery.

An intimate and revelatory conversation from 1970 between two film giants, Dennis Hopper, then riding high on the massive success of EASY RIDER (1969), and Orson Welles, ever the iconoclast and an offscreen interviewer of probing authority. Both had emerged from notoriety to change the face of cinema.
