This Thursday: Festival Opening 2026
For the 21st time, the 11mm – International Football Film Festival brings football to the place where it unfolds its very own magic: the cinema. From March 26 to 30, the traditional Colosseum Berlin on Schönhauser Allee will become a meeting place for stories of triumphs and tragedies, legends and underdogs. The festival kicks off with the rousing documentary film A summer in Italy – World Cup 1990.
The following days will also see outstanding new releases, including Heysel 85as well as rediscovered feature film gems – portraits of formative personalities such as Luis Enrique, Kenny Dalglish and Peter Schmeichel as well as cult classics à la Shaolin Soccerthat bring football in all its adventurous facets to the big screen. The focus is on films that symbolize the passion of the game, the people – and the conviction that football lasts far longer than just 90 minutes. Five full festival days with over 40 short and feature-length films from 17 countries await the 11mm audience.
Football and film – a perfect match!
