The seventh annual Kicking+Screening Soccer Film Festival will return to New York this summer, and will do so with a lineup of seven feature films.
Featuring seven films from seven different countries, this year's festival will be held June 23-26 at Tribeca Cinemas in downtown Manhattan and focuses on what it's like to be a supporter, regardless of where you sit or how you express that love. The film that will grab the attention of most MLS fans is Sons of Ben, The Movie, which will be shown on June 25 and tells the story of the Philadelphia Union supporters group during its early days.
Another film sure to pique the interest of international soccer fans tells the story of a small Welsh outfit's unlikely promotion to the English Premier League, and another lays out how a Jewish executive rebuilt German powerhouse Bayern Munich after World War II.
