KICKING AND SCREENING
The world’s premiere football film festival in London for the first time.
In association with Everyman Cinemas
September 23rd - 29th
Deadline for submissions: August 1
The home of football is welcoming the world's top international football film festival, Kicking and Screening, to London for the very first time. K&S will host its UK debut festival at the luxurious Everyman Cinemas in Hampstead, Belsize Park, Baker Street and Screen on the Green Islington. K&S will kick off September 23rd running through September 29th, screening the best films about the world's greatest game.
Founded in April 2009, K&S was the first film festival in North America devoted exclusively to football. The success of the inaugural K&S/New York festival inspired a second, equally successful, K&S/New York festival in 2010 and also satellite festivals in Washington DC, Houston, Boston and, most recently, Amsterdam. The third annual K&S/New York festival will be staged at the world-famous Tribeca Cinemas this month.
Everyman Cinemas are thrilled to be involved with such a unique festival and are excited to bring the festival to London for the very first time.
Football fans and filmmakers looking to submit football-inspired shorts and feature-length works for consideration for the K&S/London schedule should visit:

Past K&S festivals have screened more than 30 films from over 14 countries, including 7 US premieres, and attracted thousands of visitors from across the globe.. Past successes have included The Damned United, Les Yeux dans les Bleus, Once in a Lifetime, and In the Hands of the Gods.
