LIFE'S NOT A HOME GAME<br />
by Frank Marten Pfeiffer and Rouven Rech SPORTS | ECONOMY | CONTEMPORARY-SOCIETY<br />
A movie about money, tradition and the love for football.<br />
First league football in his hometown – this is the vision of SAP founder and billionaire Dietmar Hopp<br />
three years ago. Today, late 2010, everybody knows Hoffenheim, the little village with only 3.000 inhabitants.<br />
The team is already playing in the first division and the story about this little football club was<br />
the biggest media event at the beginning of 2009. Life’s not a home game is more than the story<br />
about the successful competition of team from a little village. We are looking behind the structure of<br />
a modern football company and its actors. Three years we were following the manager and the supporters<br />
of the team, to understand how this little club became a new brand in German football.<br />

The documentary film deals with the life and work<br />
of Herbert Tobias. Herbert Tobias died neither rich<br />
nor sexy from the aftereffects of Aids 1982 in<br />
Hamburg, Germany. Herbert Tobias has been<br />
regarded time and again as one of the most<br />
important photographers after the Second World<br />
War by a few insiders, but he has remained more<br />
or less the ‘mystery man’ for the art market and<br />
the public at large.<br />
We will not only remember him as a major photographer<br />
but also as an original thinker, author, singer,<br />
and actor who didn’t let anything keep him<br />
from materializing his utopias for which boundaries only existed to be overstepped.<br />

The Polish community is the second largest in Berlin but still it seems invisible. Where are all the Polish<br />
migrants in daily life? And what does successful integration mean – is it supposed to be visible or invisible<br />
in our society? LITTLE POLAND shows a portrait of polish life in Berlin and follows four polish<br />
protagonists telling their hopes, wishes and fears of a life in Germanys capital city.<br />
