Just recently, I was able to get my hands on a boxed set of films put out by 11FREUNDE, the 11FREUNDE-Edition DVD Collection, and I will be showing these movies during both the Football Friends Germany and Fußballfreunde Deutschland presentations.
Also as a subscriber to 11FREUNDE, I was sent the DVD "Kicken für die Krone", a documentary about the national football team of Liechtenstein in their efforts to qualify for EURO 2008, the tournament hosted by the countries that surround Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland.
A complete listing of videos I have available to present is below. And as long as our gatherings are informal, I can play them upon request. Please let me know what you would like to see!
Das Wunder von Bern (Language: Deutsch/English Subtitles: Deutsch/English)2003 movie with several story lines, brought to its miraculous conclusion at the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland. One of the most popular German films ever!
Kicken für die Krone (Language: Deutsch/Schweizerdeutsch Subtitles: Deutsch/English)A behind-the-scenes look at Liechtenstein's national football team as it plays David to each opponent's Goliath during Euro 2008 qualifying. Learn a little about what life is like in Liechtenstein!
11 Freunde DVD Edition
01. Der Triumph von München (Language: Deutsch Subtitles: none)
The story of Helmut Schön and his men: their preparation, and how strong Franz Beckenbauer's leadership was.
02. The Football Factory (Language: Deutsch/English Subtitles: Deutsch)
The film focuses on a football hooligan in his mid 20's who has begun to question his morals and the morals of those around him. Tommy's major conflict in the film stems from his inevitable ageing. Although he loves his weekend 'meets', he knows he cannot possibly play forever.
03. Deutschland. Ein Sommermärchen (Language: Deutsch Subtitles: Deutsch)
Sönke Wortmann's renowned intimate diary of the German national team during the 2006 World Cup.
04. Peladao - Elf Freunde und eine Königin (Language: Deutsch & Englisch & Spanisch Subtitles: Deutsch)
Soccer teams and beauty queens!
Biography of French legend Zinedine Zidane.
06. Nordkurve (Language: Deutsch Subtitles: none)
Moments from the lives of a large number of people who have nothing much in common except a strong desire to achieve their various personal goals and their attendance at a soccer match form the body of this film. It is unclear whether the director intended this as a political allegory or as a slice-of-life film. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
07. Fußball wie noch nie (Language: Subtitles: none)
Concept piece by a German director following the moves of the legendary George Best during a match. The camera never leaves Best even as the action moves around the arena.
08. The Other Final (Language: English/Bhutan Subtitles: Deutsch)
One of my favourites! A Dutch football fan, depressed about the Netherlands not qualifying for the 2002 World Cup, realizes it could be worse and looks at the bottom of FIFA's world standings. Watch the unlikely meeting between two football teams and two cultures and their common love of football.
09. Ginga (Language: Deutsch & Portugiesisch Subtitles: Deutsch)
Well-shot documentary detailing the soccer dreams and aspirations of seven young footballers, ranging in age from 13-20.
