THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED + PLEASE JOIN OUR MAILING LIST HERE

The 8th Annual Kicking + Screening Soccer Film Festival in New York runs from Tuesday, September 13, through Friday, September 16, at Scandinavia House in midtown Manhattan.

This year’s festival explores how this sport is really the "Game of our life," with four feature films about the cultural impact, both personal and national, of the beautiful game. From obsessive Panini sticker collectors to fans of a brand new club in a Mexican border city, from the enduring impact of a lone World Cup goal to the momentary thrill of a famous European Championship upset, the films at K+S New York 2016 remind us how this game affects us every day in ways both big and small.

In 1992, the Danish national team had failed to qualify for the European Championship in Sweden. The players were already on holiday when they were called up in their summer residences with a surprising message: Yugoslavia was disqualified because of the war, and the Danes were set to replace them. The rest is history.
