The Big Day
Schützenfest
What is a Schützenfest (shooting festival) and what is it for? A small German town breaks out the bunting to welcome the arrival of brass bands, hats and rifles, as the town's men march as one towards the throne. A quirky ethnographic exploration of the rituals of a bygone era.
