New Films from Germany


In cooperation with the Boston Turkish Film and Music Festival


Aysun Bademsoy's long-term observation of Turkish female soccer players in Berlin-Kreuzberg focuses on the next generation 30 years after their first encounter. Born and raised in Germany, they still ask themselves the question: Do we really feel accepted here? It seems as if a cultural rift still defines their lives. Referring back to the 1990s, their mothers today reminisce about a youth in which the game of soccer provided the space for emancipation. The world of their daughters today lies beyond the soccer field: between Instagram, self-discovery and family responsibility. Aysun Bademsoy shows people who remain seekers. Her film not only develops a multi-layered portrait of the former soccer players but also raises questions about how life paths are shaped across generations.

Directed by Aysun Bademsoy
