John F. Kennedy
Rise and Assassination
John F. Kennedy married the 34-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier. Now they have two children, Caroline, 5, and John-John, 2. The presidential aircraft Air Force One is flying over Texas in the direction of Dallas Airport. The State of Texas is traditionally a conservative Republican stronghold. Kennedy’s fight for civil rights, his liberal domestic policies as well as the orientation of his international politics displease the conservative elites of the Texan metropolis. For them, Kennedy is a friend of the communists and “nigger lover”. The 46-year-old John F. Kennedy is the youngest president of the United Sates and the first Catholic one. Over the past three years, Kennedy has led the United States into the most significant economic boom in the country’s history. The President has the protective roof of the car removed in which he is driven through the streets of Dallas on November 22, 1963 so that people can see him better. Roughly 250,000 people are lining the streets and cheering for him. In the just over thousand days as president, Kennedy has become famous. He represents a new era. The President’s convoy is moving through the centre of Dallas. Slowly, they are passing the building which is used as a depository for school books. Three shots are fired. A person was seen fleeing the book depository. It is 1 pm. 30 minutes have passed since the attack. President Kennedy is declared dead. He was the youngest president ever elected... and he died the youngest.

Stalking
n Germany, 12 % of all federal citizens are pursued by a stalker once in their lives. And not only celebrities are among their victims! Everyone may be confronted with such a situation.
Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
