Film Screening
Heimspiel
Director: Pepe Danquart, colour, 101 min., 1998-2000
As top-class players – with their own fan club and fan culture – the Berlin Eisbären (Berlin Polar Bears) are above all one thing: underdogs from the East who managed to go straight to the top. During the 1990s, this ice hockey team from East Berlin was also a powerful symbol of East German self-confidence. This positive view of personal identity is still rare at a time when divided Germany remains far from becoming one in the minds of the people. Pepe Danquart explores fan culture, old and new prejudices, and the legacy of the East German era – back when the Berlin Eisbären were still called Dynamo Berlin. The documentary is also an homage to a sport characterized by speed and toughness. HEIMSPIEL was honoured with the German Film Award in 2000 for Best Director.
