How the sports film "Mädchen am Ball" (1995) became the film biography of a generation of women of Turkish origin in Berlin - Director Aysun Bademsoy in conversation with Dietrich Leder
Aysun Bademsoy, born in 1960 in Mersin (Turkey), studied journalism and theatre studies at the FU Berlin. During her studies, she took on roles in feature films and worked as an assistant director for Christian Petzold and Harun Farocki. Since the late 1980s, she has mainly made documentary films. To name just a few examples: "Deutsche Polizisten" (1999) tells the story of police officers with a history of migration. "Am Rande der Städte" (2005) is about people who return to their Turkish homeland after a long and hard working life to spend their retirement there. "Traces - The Victims of the NSU" (2019) emphatically summarises the experiences of families of Turkish or Greek origin in Germany whose husbands, brothers or sons were murdered by the right-wing terrorist NSU between 2000 and 2007. The documentary film "Mädchen am Ball", which is the subject of the following interview, was made in 1995, in which the director portrays a group of young women of Turkish origin who play football in a club. She dedicated two further films to these women and their lives: "Nach dem Spiel" (1997) and "Ich geh jetzt rein" (2008). She is currently in the final stages of production on her fourth film, which captures the progress of this development. Its title: "Players". The result is a special long-term project in which sport was the starting point and which has now become the cinematic biography of an entire generation of women of Turkish origin in Germany.
