Lower League

SVE je u znaku fudbala. Sve kampanje su fudbalizovane, a konstantno horsko brujanje vuvuzela na TV-u pomracuje mi um. For a truly girly girl, to je malo previse.

Ako sam nesto naucila, to je da nekad okolnosti ne mozemo da promenimo, ali mozemo da promenimo svoju reakciju na date okolnosti. Tako mi je Fubiz danas u Google Reader srucio jednu prezanimljivost - nekoliko fotki iz albuma European Fields - The Landscape of Lower League Football, holandskog fotografa Hansa van der Meer-a.

I onda saznam da je on fotodokumentovao fenomenalni dogadjaj The Other Final, projekat KesselsKramer, jedne od nasih omiljenih umotvorina. Ovde je jedno citavo predavanje Erika Kesselsa.



The story behind The Other Final glasi ovako:

The Other Final tells the story of a remarkable football game played on the 30th June 2002, the same day as the World Cup final in Japan. Between the worlds two lowest FIFA-ranked teams; Bhutan and Montserrat (No. 202 and 203). Bhutan is a remote mountainous Himalayan kingdom and Montserrat is a small Caribbean island with seven active volcanoes. The game was played in Thimphu, Bhutan.

The film uses football as a device to explore the contrasting cultures of the teams, and shows how football can be a global language uniting people. The story, told through interviews and beautifully photographed on 16mm, is of a unique cultural meeting. It begins on Montserrat and culminates at the game attended by 20,000 spectators in Bhutan.

A evo i trejlera:



I tako ja sad uzivam i u fudbalu.
