《Home》Released on September 16th: Keep the hard work of college football on the screen

The documentary film - Home - will be released on September 16th.The film records the FISU Football World Cup to be held in Dalian in 2025. The camera follows four Chinese university teams: Beijing Normal University, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Shanghai Sport University, and Yanbian University, capturing the moments when they are running, waiting and under pressure on the field.

College football has a very special rhythm.Players have to divide their time between training, games and studies. When they reach the international arena, they have to face opponents from different football cultures.The film puts 24 college teams from 17 countries on five continents in the same event, showing both the tension when the scores are close and the calmness of hugging each other after the game.Many truly touching scenes often occur after the final whistle.

Accidents in the game often determine the direction of emotions.An injury after defense, a shot that was saved, or a counterattack when falling behind can instantly change the atmosphere of the team.The Beihang men's football team scored a goal in the countdown in the face of adversity, and the Beijing Normal University women's football team faced strong opponents despite injuries. These real-life clips were preserved by the camera and gave “Persistence” a concrete face and voice.

Director Cong Wei placed the filming at the scene of the event.The documentary does not rearrange the action for the camera, and everything that happens on the court is immediacy.The annoyance of players when they make mistakes, the shouts from the bench, and the hushed expectations in the stands all together form another layer of narrative outside of the game.The closer the camera is to people, the clearer the feelings beyond victory and defeat will be.

The streets, seaside and venues of Dalian were also brought into the film.The city welcomed young people of different languages ​​and skin colors during the tournament, and football became a common language for mutual understanding.For the participating students, the competition will end, but the memories will continue to ferment for a long time.Some people leave with regrets, and some people re-recognize themselves with a key pass.

《Home 》 will also use net box office profits to support youth football-related efforts.The movie focuses on the campus, which also gives this event record an extended direction.There are few shortcuts to growth on the football training ground. Skills, tacit understanding and mentality must be slowly accumulated in game after game, and become solid in review after game.Young people who love football deserve to be seen. Every step they take on the field adds a little more distance to the future.
