Schulfarm Insel Scharfenberg, founded as a reform pedagogical experiment 
in the Weimar Republic, has implemented a radically democratic school 
concept. In this boarding school, built on an island of the Tegel lake 
in Berlin, teachers and students held open debates on discussion forums 
and voted on everything related to the school’s duties even its most 
basic operational functioning. Everyone had one vote, both students and 
teachers. Through depicting the history of the school, Die Insel 
examines what society, politics, the school itself could – or couldn’t – 
do with this heritage, in the fascistic Germany of the ‘30s, during 
World War 2 and then in the ‘50s, in ‘68, or in the ‘90s. And what can 
we do with it today?

Documentary film by Katalin Simon and Zsolt Vásárhelyi. Q&A with the 
directors following the screening.
