Russian Films Appropriate for High School Showing

[Stefani, Sara Marie]

Would "Piter FM" be a good choice? I would think that younger (high school) students should find it captivating because of the use of music, mobile phones, attractive young people, etc. Plus, it's a love story, and a rather sweet one. I don't think there's any nudity or sex in it. And the story should be somewhat familiar to them, since the plot is a riff on many American movies.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Russian Films Appropriate for High School Showing

Hello,

I am a high school Russian instructor in Arizona.  One of the schools I teach at is fortunate enough to have a foreign film festival every spring, and I have already been asked for a Russian film to show at the festival.  I am feeling a little stuck as most of the films I’ve seen can’t be shown in a public high school setting, yet I want the film to engage the students.  Any suggestions of titles would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
