Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Freiland taps into a very German tradition of Kommune experiments, from 1970s intentional communities to modern 'Tiny House' escapists in the former East.
Director Moritz Laube partially funded this through a crowdfunding campaign that ironically mirrored the film's themes of collective idealism meeting practical hurdles.
