I saw this film at a bar in San Francisco. It was part of a short film festival.
This film contains no narration or interview and is only 9 minutes long. However it is a fascinating portrait of a cheerleader at a soccer game. To an American audience, the German screams coupled with the almost fascist salutes and chants must have seemed terrifying. What's more is that often I found myself involved in the crowd, wanting to know the songs they sang and the chants they had.
What starts off as a terrifying portrait slowly moves into the comfort of community (or some might say conformism). A beautiful film, nonetheless.
