On Screen - Mit Fußball und Film Europa entdecken

In the organizer's words:

On June 4, 2024, the On Screen Film Ball rolls into Hamburg at our partner cinema Studio Kino. After the film program, a prominent guest from European soccer and local guests will comment on the short films in a relaxed atmosphere and discuss film, soccer and Europe with the audience. A local jury will select a film from the curated film program.

The curated series of eight feature films, documentaries and animated films from France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Hungary and Germany is very diverse in terms of language, content and form; it shows the topic of soccer in very different contexts - from amusing to exciting to serious.

Making a selection from the variety of European soccer short films that the curatorial team has viewed was as challenging as it was rewarding.

And so you will meet a Zlatan fan, accompany a referee in his everyday life, see a match kicked, experience a fan in a car cheering him on, follow how a girl and a soldier meet and how a father-son relationship is put to the test, feel sorry for a gay hooligan and cheer on a Spanish lady.
