The Fabric of Home (2011)

The Fabric of Home plot

“The Fabric of Home” makes an inventory of the significance of traditional clothing for the inhabitants of the Alpine region in southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland. To this end, the makers attended a large number of parties and festivals, such as the bicentenary of Andreas Hofer's freedom struggle in Innsbrück, the sixtieth anniversary of the Carinthian Hunters' Association and the Oktoberfesten in Munich. Everyone who is featured in the film wears a dirndl (traditional dress), lederhosen or janker (traditional men's jacket): from a political statement to an equality symbol or simply because it is a cool piece of clothing. The film shows different people in traditional clothing: farmers on the mountain slopes, but also Muslim women and goths in the big city. Lederhosen is back in vogue among gay dance groups, too, and a Jewish actor from Salzburg talks about traditional Jewish dress during the Nazi era to explain why the pants represent his freedom to him...
