The Substitute
Il Supplente is a 2007 Italian comedy short film directed by and starring Andrea Jublin. He plays a substitute teacher who seems to be more hormonal than his teenage class and instigates a series of crazy games in which students are marked on their ability to mimic animals. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.
The Boat That Rocked
An ensemble comedy, where the romance is between the young people of the 60s, and pop music. It's about a band of DJs that captivate Britain, playing the music that defines a generation and standing up to a government that wanted control of popular culture via the British Broadcasting Corporation. Loosely based on the events in Britain in the 60's when the Labour government of Harold Wilson, wanted to bring the pirate radio stations under control, enough to see the passage of the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act on 15 August 1967. Also known as "Pirate Radio".
