Ice Aged Kino-Dokumentarfilm von Alexandra Sell
coming soon
Alexandra Sells berührender Dokumentarfilm ICE AGED begleitet sechs Frauen und Männer aus aller Welt fast drei Jahre lang, vom hingabevollen Training zuhause in ihren Eishallen bis zum großen Auftritt auf der Weltmeisterschaft im Hobby-Eiskunstlaufen in Oberstdorf.
ICE AGED zeigt den Traum vom Eis als beherzte Kampfansage an Alter, Endlichkeit und Jugendwahn. Unsere Held*innen reiferen Alters gehen über ihre Grenzen für den alles entscheidenden Augenblick. Wir erleben tiefen Schmerz, großes Glück und einen Mut, der uns den Atem nimmt.
Back in the swinging 60s young Linda from the streets of South London skipped school for the ice disco and was discovered on the spot, becoming a three-time British Champion in pair skating. Half a lifetime and two cruel twists of fate later, Linda returns onto the ice aged 70 – when nothing less than her life is at stake.
Alexandra Sell’s touching documentary ICE AGED follows six men and women from all over the world for the best part of three years, tracing their dedication to training at local ice rinks up to the big performance at the World Hobby Figure Skating Championships at Oberstdorf in Bavaria.
ICE AGED shows that the dream of skating is a battle-cry against the march of old age and the glorification of youth. Our well-aged heroes go beyond their limits for that all-important moment. On our way through their years and their tears, we witness deep pain, intense joy and unbreakable courage which takes our breath away.

An alpine village, 34 nations. 652 women and men take their life out onto the ice.
Alexandra Sell’s documentary ICE AGE – THE DREAM BEGINS is about the world’s enthusiasm for figure skating – even at an old age! For „best-agers“, ice skating is a last and better-late-than-never chance to revive childhood dreams. And to do this, contenders accept all conditions! But why?
For one year, ICE AGE – THE DREAM BEGINS accompanies elderly sportsmen and women from all round the world at their local ice rinks and in unstinting training before their great and rousing performances to hundreds of spectators at the World Championship of Hobby Figure Skating. A joyous documentary that points a middle finger at old age, illness and one’s own mortality.
