FC Magdeburg... BLAUWEISS!

As we approach the end of the football season and things get interesting in the Premier League, the Regionalliga in Germany is looking like a season to forget for FC Magdeburg, with no chance of promotion. However, a couple of seasons ago things were far more interesting as the club went on a roller coaster of a season and were on the brink of promotion to the Bundesliga 2nd Division.... and I got to experience it too as I was documenting their season with the film "Blauweiss".

This week on the Ivisualise player homepage there is an exclusive extra from the limited edition DVD release of Blue and White: The Extras. This 5 minute film looks at the premiere of the stunning FC Magdeburg football documentary "Blauweiss" at the Theater Magdeburg, to a packed audience in 2007.

The tickets to the premiere and 3 subsequent nights were sold out before the event was advertised and a further 4 screenings were organised at the Moritzhof in Magdeburg, a FCM fan day... and the film was screened at the 11mm International Film Festival.

Es gibt noch ein paar DVDs vom Film Blauweiss. Sie kosten 12,50 Euro inklusiv Versand innerhalb Europas. Und sie bekommen "3 Lions" auf DVD gratis dazu! Also jetzt bestellen per Email und das Fußballfieber nochmal erleben - jamie@ivisualise.co.uk

Es gibt ein 10 minutigen extrakt von der Film auf der folgende Seite: www.ivisualise.co.uk/blauweiss/

Exclusive Begbie live and acoustic video

Begbie are the latest feature on the Ivisualise Player. No, not that one from Trainspotting, but the excellent Indie band from Magdeburg in Germany. If you don't already know them, then check them out, before the debut album is released later this year! Head on over to: www.myspace.com/begbieband for a listen

As for the video on the Ivisualise Player, Schöne and Koss perform the title song from the stunning football documentary "Blauweiss". This was recorded in front of the Hundertwasser 'Grüne Zitadelle' in Magdeburg city centre in 2007.

This music video was an exclusive extra on the very limited edition bonus DVD (only a magical 74 were ever made) that came with the film "Blauweiss". A full version of the song was later recorded and released on the Heartdisco label, under the title "Blue and White".

"Blauweiss" is a critically acclaimed epic documentary that follows FC Magdeburg and their quest for promotion to the second division in the German Bundesliga. Full of emotion, passion and action, this 105 minute film leaves supporters teary eyed as they reflect upon the season that they came so very close.

I love it towards the end when it goes a bit quiet and if you listen carefully you can hear the tram in the background, as well as the guy who shouts out "Große Klasse, wirklich"! There were a couple of builders who were working on some houses behind the camera and they stopped briefly whilst we recorded the video and seemed to really enjoy it! (the song that is, although I'm sure they enjoyed the quick break as well!)
