The Raiffeisenbank Gammesfeld

Schotter wie Heu is a German documentary from 2002 .

action

The film is a portrait of life in Gammesfeld , Hohenlohe , with the smallest bank in Germany , Raiffeisenbank Gammesfeld , and its only employee at the center.

Emergence

Sigrun Köhler (* 1967) and Wiltrud Baier (* 1967) alias Böller and Brot are graduates of the Baden-Württemberg Film Academy in Ludwigsburg . The film Schotter wie Heu is her debut film. The film premiered at the 36th Hof Film Festival in 2002, and was shown in the cinema in summer 2003.

criticism

“Basically, Baier and Köhler have presented an ethnological study of life in the German provinces. The people there dream of cars and tractors, they fight hard and they celebrate vigorously. Is there a nicer picture of the slowed-down existence of the Gammesfelder than the ' cow dung bingo ' at the fair? ”In this case, the fair means the Muswiese .
