Germany, Summer 2006 – a sea of black, red and gold. The 2006 Soccer World Cup changed the way Germans perceived their own country. What is left over half a year later? Florian Thalhofer and Juliane Henrich traveled 2562 km all over Germany to talk to people that still have a German flag outside their houses. They met astonishing people with all kinds of different German accents.

Now available: [Forgotten Flags] - a Korsakow-film for PC and Mac

Germans think that showing the national flag is sinister. World Cup soccer in 2006 brought about a notable swing. Germans overcame — temporarily — their fear of association with right-wing nationalism. They were proud of their fatherland and put out flags en masse for the first time.

2562 kilometers - Florian Thalhofer and Juliane Henrich travelled through Germany looking for the forgotten flags of the soccer-world-cup and their owners.

The result is the Korsakow-Film [Forgotten Flags] that was just released on DVD-Rom by Mediamatic, Amsterdam. The DVD comes with a bonus-track: [small world] - Florian Thalhofer’s first nonlinear photo-film on what it is like to grow up in a small town.

[Forgotten Flags] - DVD-Rom and hard cover magazine with a text by Krystian Woznicki and photos by Juliane Henrich now published by Mediamatic. 20 pages, DVD-Rom:

1000Stories - 8272 miles on a BMW through the United States. The trip is finished but how is it going on? I am currently working on a Korsakow-Film about my adventures in America, but that will take a while. If you are interested what my sex-life far away from home was like - and you understand German - you might want to check out the interview Tomas Niederberghaus did with me for German weekly Die Zeit:

The interview is online in German language.
