The Kicking + Screening Soccer Film Festival marks its return to New York City after a one-year COVID-related hiatus. And we’ve got an amazing lineup of films.

K+S New York 2021 runs October 12-15, with three in-person screenings at Scandinavia House in midtown Manhattan, and one in-person screening at the Upper 90 Soccer Center In Astoria, Queens.

A few highlights of the lineup include:

• the fashion-focused feature Casuals, which examines the “casuals” subculture of the late 1970s and 80s in the UK;

• the world premiere of Rachel Viollet’s highly anticipated film Big-Time Soccer, about the North American Soccer League;

• the U.S. premiere of Rayados 75, an extraordinary inside perspective on Mexican club Monterrey’s remarkable 75th season;

• and the U.S. premiere of the Liverpool FC documentary The End of the Storm, featuring exclusive interviews with Jurgen Klopp, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino, among others, and directed by celebrated soccer filmmaker James Erskine.

In addition to the in-person program, our new “Kicking + Streaming” Film Series will present selected films for virtual screenings, allowing fans everywhere to experience great soccer films. The full “Kicking + Streaming” film lineup will be announced soon.

And as always, K+S New York will feature several panel discussions, director Q&As, and special guests. We will announce details of this soon, too.

For K+S New York 2021, we are thrilled to join forces with our friends at Women in Soccer as our social partner. Throughout the festival, we will showcase and promote WIS and all the great work they are doing to empower and support women in the soccer industry.

We can’t wait to see you all again!

COVID-19 POLICY

In adherence to requirements by the State of New York, proof of vaccination is mandatory for anyone attending a K+S screening. We also ask that masks are worn, covering both nose and mouth, except when eating or drinking in designated areas.

We reserve the right to deny access to anyone refusing to adhere to those guidelines, to leave the building.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public space where people gather. While we make every attempt to provide a safe and sanitized environment, we cannot guarantee that you, your guests, vendors, contractors, or subcontractors will not be exposed to COVID-19 during your visit. Those attending K+S events do so at their own risk of such exposure.
