Ultras

Ranghild Ekner, Sweden, 2025

Documentary

Ultras - the beating heart of football and a constant source of debate. The world’s most popular subculture. In this film, we visit stands in eight countries, on four continents. We get to experience the sparkling energy and atmosphere that is unique for the football stands. At the same time, we gain insight into how a strong subcultural context can influence and be influenced by its surrounding social context. This isn’t a critical review, it’s a tribute.
