semester topic „Eins Werden Berliner Vereine“Shortfilm, 16:9, color, 15:00 min, 2024
When you think of a shooting club in Berlin, a number of associations are sure to spring to mind. For example, life in the countryside, green uniforms, a hyper-masculine climate where older gentlemen drink beer or even problematic political opinions are shared. These are topics that are not primarily associated with a progressive city like Berlin. But there are actually 86 shooting clubs here, not all of which fit into the above categories. In the film, we want to explore the landscape of “shooting enthusiasts” in Berlin and explore their often inconspicuous, hidden and sometimes mysterious spaces. The aim of the film is not to evaluate the clubs, but to provide a documentary insight into a world that many find threatening. The film attempts to show the different aspects of shooting, club life and the variance in the Berlin shooting scene.
