Tons of old Super 8 film reels are gathering dust in German attics and cellars. Long forgotten but full of historic material. For example a first vacation in Italy with a new Volkswagen Beetle in the 1960s or a quick weekend trip in the Alps in the 1970s. It would be a tragedy if all this footage were to disappear. But luckily Thomas Mützel from Berlin is on hand to save it.

By day Thomas Müzel is busy cutting hair, by night film clips! More specifically home-made vacation films. His project began when customers who felt sorry for him never taking a vaction started to lend him their holiday films to watch. 
After three years and over 300 hours of film the result is 'the vacation reel' a documentary about Germans and travel. All that remains is to find a distributor. 
Director Robert Von Aackeren has also compiled two films from home movies. His compilations are called "Deutschland Privat" or Private Germany.
