Founded in April 2009, Kicking & Screening is the first film festival in the United States devoted solely to "the beautiful game." From inspiring films to insightful panel discussions, K&S provides films and filmmakers with a forum to show and discuss their work and unites the fans who make soccer the international passion it is. The mission of Kicking & Screening is to bring together soccer fans and cinephiles to celebrate the beauty and passion of soccer as captured and expressed on film.
