The English Lesson (2016)
Film (Short and Comedy) Editor Set ten years in the future, Virgil, an English Language Steward (not teacher) works in a school which achieves 100 hundred per cent success rate. Dressed in a red hooded outfit which suggests his low rank, Virgil has been employed to assist the efficient auto-prof: a computerised English instructor. The machine unleashes utilitarian English classes pitched way below its students' levels in order to guarantee passes and maintain the school's reputation. Virgil becomes taken by a student, Marie, who somehow manages to stir him from the drudgery of his apathetic classroom role. He fails one of the student's test in his class and is ordered by his superiors to amend the score if he wishes to keep his position, taking into account the dwindling jobs market. He is bullied, harassed and intimated into complying with a system that is decayed, corrupted and abusive towards its employees. Written by Paul Herbert

He soon learns from expert Dr Luoma, a physicist struggling to win back her reputation due to her wayward theories, that there is more to Iro than meets the eye and that she is arguably a real person, not just a figment of Casper's imagination mimicking his movements and facial expressions. This leads Casper to a journey into the realms of an inverted world that exists behind the mirror to find out who this feminine impostor really is, and to learn about the curious world in which Iro lives.

In a reunion that should have led to a happy ending, reality takes another turn when the aftermath of Helen's abduction leaves many conflicts and unresolved issues in play between Helen and her mother. Her mother, Rosalind, recognizes the fragility in Helen that no one else sees, and as a means of protecting her daughter, is against making the documentary. The film builds to a climax when Helen's kidnapper hangs himself in prison, and leaves Helen the house in which he kept her captive. Written by Zein Kurdi
