- "L'année prochaine à Jérusalem" (2008)
The film, whose title to the traditional saying of the Jews after the Passover - Seder refers, traces the footsteps of many thousands, for the Camp du Grand Arénas was in Marseille transit point on their way to Israel. The first Zionists who wanted to settle in Palestine and the Jewish refugees who had escaped the Nazi regime were followed by 250,000 Sephardic Jews from North Africa between 1946 and 1966 . The film portrays the memories of three former inmates of the precarious and oppressive conditions in the camp on their search for clues before the camp has to give way to the construction of a prison and the Cayolle settlement.
- Je t'emmène à Alger (2009)
Inspired by the stories of his grandmother, who comes from Algeria , the director creates a colored picture of a mythical Algiers, as he had imagined it as a child, mixed with visions based on the exotic Algeria pictures of Delacroix or Picasso , but also an Algiers in which the traces of French colonization are obvious, as are the wounds that the freedom struggles of the past and terrorism of the present have inflicted on the people of Algiers.
- Nous, les Princesses de Clèves (2010)
In 2009/11, Sauder shot this documentary at the Lycée Denis Diderot in a problem district in Marseilles , the majority of whose students are first and second generation French. Sauder filmed the young people, who are preparing for their baccalaureate , who are reading the novel, The Princess of Clèves from the 17th century on the mandatory curriculum, reading the novel, replaying dialogues and listening in silence in the classroom as one voice the off recited passages of the text, and he documents their comments on the novel. In 2008, the French President Sarkozy dismissed the novel as "stupid" and "sadistic" with caustic words, which had led to violent reactions from students, professors and the press. The surprising result of Sauder's film project was that the young people from different countries of origin and a socially disadvantaged milieu "effortlessly [recognize] themselves in the characters in the novel". In 2011 the film was shown at the 54th International Film Festival in San Francisco.
