About the Nomination


Classroom 4 is a 2025 American documentary short directed by Eden Wurmfeld. The film follows a history course taught inside a prison, bringing together college students and incarcerated students to study the history of crime and punishment in the United States.


Through discussions of incarceration, masculinity, prison abolition, mercy, and human connection, the documentary examines the consequences of mass imprisonment while highlighting the transformative potential of education and direct human engagement.


The film has already received significant recognition, including a Best Documentary Short Film Oscar shortlist placement, a Critics Choice Documentary Awards nomination, and a Jury Award for Best Documentary at Aspen Film Shortsfest.
