15 Festival's Dossier FEBRUARY 9 - 15 FESTIVAL’S DOSSIER THE FESTIVAL Thinking Football Film Festival is a film and football festival with a social theme organized by the Athletic Club Foundation and Sala BBK, with the collabora- tion of the Bilbao City council. The festival will be taking place between the 9th and 15th of February 2015 at Sala BBK, with free admission to all screenings. The 2015 edition will be Thinking Football Film Festival’s third edition. In it, ten documentary films originating from countries such as Brazil, France, Germany, the United States, Poland or United Kingdom will be presented. These films address the social and political role of soccer players and clubs; soccer as the articulator of social inclusion, the use of soccer by political authorities, et cetera. Most of these documentaries are yet unpublished in Spain and are presented in S.O.V. As every year, thanks to the viewers’ participation, the Audience Award to the best film, endowed with an economic prize that the director of the winning film will have to donate to a social project related to the sport, will be awarded. Previous years’ winners are the films Football Rebels (Gilles Perez and Gilles Rof, France, 2012), in the 2013 edition, and Next Goal Wins (Mike Brett and Steve Jamison, England, 2014) in 2014.

Second part of the award-winning film "Football Rebels", broadcast on Canal + France with the stories of five footballers who took a step forward and became social heroes through football. It gathers the stories of Honey Thaljieh (founder of the Palestine Women’s National team), Claudius Tamburrini (Lanús goalie jailed and tortured by the Argentine dictatorship of Videla who escaped from the torture centre sadly known as Mansión Sere), Cristiano Lucarelli (left-wing reference in recent years in the Italian Calcio), Alfonsinho (one of the World’s pioneer in the fight for the labour rights of footballers) and Saturnino Navazo (imprisoned republican in the Nazi concentration camp of Mauthausen, where he organized a football championship for prisoners). Wie im falschen Film (We’re in the wrong film) Germany, 2014, Timian Hopf / 44 mins (O.V.S.E.) A film produced by the association ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ of Germany which takes us on a journey through different stories that show how racism, gender stereotyping and homophobia are still present in the stands. The documentary tells the testimonies of football players that have suffered these prejudices in their flesh, among others, Jérôme and Kevin-Prince Boateng, Roberto Hilbert, Anthony Ujah, Gerald Asamoah, Andreas Beck, Hans Sarpei, Christoph Metzel- der, Katja Kraus, Rashid Azzouzi or Anja Mittag. THE FILMS Democracia em Preto e Blanco (Democracy in Black and White) Brazil, 2014, Pedro Asberg / 90 mins (O.V.S.E.) In the early 1980’s, with Brazil suffering an iron-clad military dictatorship for decades, Corinthians de Sócrates initiated a revolution that would add to the climate of change driven by the amnesty movement, strikes, the stu- dent movement and the burgeoning of a rebellious music scene. A soccer utopia that was born with the objective of democratizing the club but that ended up becoming the symbol of the country’s fight to recover their lost free- dom. This is the story of the Corinthian Democracy, of when a soccer club spearheaded a freedom movement. 18team Spain-Zambia, 2014, Juan Rodríguez-Briso / 70 mins (O.V.S.E.) "Eighteam" is a documentary film that narrates the journey of Chipolopolo (“the Copper bullets”, nickname of the Zambian National Soccer team in the Bemba language), from the tragedy to the glory incarnated in the figure of its star player Kalusha Bwalya. It is a journey that began in 1988 when a promising Zambian National team overwhelmingly defeated Italy by 4-0 in the Olympic Games and set its sights in qualifying for the World Cup for the first time. But the Zambia Air Force plane that was taking the team to Senegal to dispute a qualifying match crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, about 500 meters off the coast of Gabon and all the passengers and crew, inclu- ding 18 Zambian National team players, died in the crash. No country has ever had to overcome such a tremen- dous loss of its national team. However, for Zambia there was no another option but to move on. The captain of that team, Kalusha Bwalya, who was not onboard the ill-fated flight as he was playing for his team at the time, PSV Eindhoven, puts all of his efforts into rebuilding a new team and professionalizing the federation, becoming coach of the national team and later president of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ). Eighteen years and some months later, destiny winks back at Zambia: Gabon, just 2 kilometres from the place of the acci- dent, Zambia becomes champion of Africa for the first time in its history. The victory comes after a long penalty shoot-out. It was written: there were 18 penalty shots. THE FILMS Mundial. Gra o wszystko (Mundial: The Highest Stakes) Poland, 2014, Michal Bielawski / 90 mins (O.V.S.E.) A Polish documentary that recreates that country’s most important soccer moment, which coincided in time with the beginning of the end of Communism in Poland. The '82 World Cup, with the country under Martial Law, it was a dark year: censorship, troops on the streets, jails overflowing with members of the political opposition… Despite it all, the Polish people found a thread of hope in watching their National team on television. Enjoying the goals scored by Boniek and Smolarek, the extraordinary agility of Broad, Kupcewicz and Buncol, the spectacular goalkeeping skills of Młynarczyk. It was only 90 minutes, but those were the only moments when they could escape the cruel reality of their lives. By means of the com- bination of an impressive variety of archive images along with present-day interviews and animation, the film narrates the fascinating and untold story of the relationship between the sport and politics in one of Poland’s darkest periods. Coach Zoran and his African Tigers (El entrenador Zoran y los Tigres del Sol) United Kingdom, 2013, Sam Benstead / 75 mins (O.V.S.E.) South Sudan gained its independence in July 2011, following over 50 years of civil war. Although the memories of victims of violence still persist, this new nation seeks to achieve a place in the world of football by establishing its first national team. The man in charge of this task is the Serb Zoran Djordjevic; a veteran, dynamic and very ambitious coach. The film follows the team over its first year, from the search for new players to the purchase of the mascot - the Champion sheep – to their first international matches. Zoran’s aggressive and perhaps even dictatorial style causes conflict with the Football Federation and several politicians. While the euphoria of independence abates, the team is affected by infighting, malaria and the economic crisis that also affects the new state. What follows is an original and dark comedy portrait of the birth of a nation. THE FILMS We Must Go (Debemos ir) United States, 2014, Dave LaMattina y Chad N. Wakeri / 90 mins (O.V.S.E.) An American, full-length documentary that chronicles the journey of prestigious coach Bob Bradley at the helm of the Egyptian National team in their attempt to qualify for Brazil 2014, marked by the emer- gence of the so-called Arab revolution that ended the Mubarak’s dictatorship and by the tragedy of Port Said, where more than seventy fans of the Al Ahly football team were assassinated during a match in repression for these fans’ participation in the protests against the dictatorship. Sons of Ben United States, 2015, Jeffrey C. Bell / 90 mins (O.V.S.E.) In 1996, the first season of the MLS, that in which Philadelphia, in spite of being one of the most traditional sports franchise cities in the country, was not awarded a team in the competition. Ten years later, Philadelphia still didn’t have a team, so a small group of die-hard soccer fans started what for many was considered pure madness: to form a supporters club for a team that did not exist.

Por no variar, las necrológicas urdidas a toda prisa, reproduciendo casi al dictado notas de agencia igualmente apresuradas, sabían a poco. Alguna de ellas, además, se excedía en loas al futbolista, sin dedicar un párrafo a la persona, a su despedida de nuestro Campeonato, capitidisminuido y hasta deglutiendo cierto poso de decepción. Buenas razones para acercarnos al personaje, máxime cuando hoy su nombre, como el de tantas otras estrellas envejecidas, semejará nebulosa recóndita para muchos.

  • 703 Prelims.P65
    Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.

Imaginez un monde où un club domine la France du foot, et qu'il ne s'appelle pas l'Olympique Lyonnais mais le Stade de Reims. Imaginez un monde où l'un des meilleurs joueurs est Français. Seulement, il n'est pas fils de Kabyles mais d'origine polonaise. Ce monde semble impensable pour la plupart des gens. Pourtant il a existé. Il y a cinquante ans. Et celui qui faisait rêver la France ne s'appelait pas Zinedine Zidane mais Raymond Kopa. Mais l'un comme l'autre ont joué dans le club le plus titré d'Europe : le Real Madrid. L'équipe du Brésil de 1958 meilleure que celui de 1998. Cela pourrait prêter à sourire sauf quand celui qui le dit s'appelle Raymond Kopa. Et le palmarès plaide pour lui.

  • 'Launching the European Cup Was a Gamble'
    INTERVIEW INTERVIEW “We took a gamble, JACQUES FERRAN because there was no way we or the clubs could organise such a big competition.” ‘LAUNCHING THE EUROPEAN CUP WAS A GAMBLE’ More than 60 years ago, a group of journalists from L’Équipe had the idea of creating a cup competition for Europe’s clubs. Jacques Ferran, now aged 96, still remembers the fantastic adventure that led to the creation of the world’s greatest club competition as if it were yesterday.

  • Famous French People Just Fontaine© by Robert Shepherd
    Famous French People Just Fontaine© by Robert Shepherd This is Robert Shepherd on EnglishWaves and it’s time to explore the life of a famous French person. This time we’re going to focus on an ex-footballer who holds the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup finals. He is Just Fontaine. Although he is a Frenchman, the man nicknamed “Justo” was born in Marrakech on 18th August 1933 before moving to Casablanca, where he attended Lycée Lyautey. Fontaine started out as an amateur, playing for USM Casablanca from 1950-1953. However, it wasn’t long until Nice spotted his potential and brought him to France. Fontaine scored 44 goals in three seasons. In 1956, Fontaine transferred to Stade de Reims, teaming up with Raymond Kopa in the process. Kopa left to join Spanish giants Real Madrid in 1958, but Fontaine went on to score an incredible 165 goals in 200 matches in Ligue 1. He also won the league title in 1958 and 1960. In 1959, Fontaine led his Stade de Reims side to the European Cup Final against Real Madrid, but they lost 2-nil. Still, Fontaine was the season’s top scorer with 10 goals. His appearances for the national team were even more eye-catching. On his debut in December 1953, Fontaine netted a hat-trick as France smashed Luxembourg 8-nil. He scored a staggering 30 goals in 21 matches for the national team over seven years. Yet Fontaine is best remembered for his performances in the 1958 World Cup finals in Sweden.

  • Raymond KOPA
    Il y a un demi-siècle, un footballeur français s’illustrait à la Coupe du Monde 1958. Premier Français à décrocher le Ballon d’or en 1958, ce footballeur aux 45 sélections marque l’Equipe de France. Il participe à la Coupe du Monde à l’été 1958 en Suède où la France finit 3e, sa meilleure performance jusqu’alors. Raymond KOPA Né KOPASZEWSKI le 13 octobre 1931 à 9h à Nœux-les-Mines 62 Pas-de-Calais Selon état-civil Didier Geslain via la FDAF Décédé le 3 mars 2017 à Angers Maine-et-Loire 49 Raymond Kopa sous le maillot de l'équipe de France en 1960. A 8 ans, il crée son équipe de foot de rue et à 17 ans intègre l’équipe première de Nœux Petit-fils d’immigrés polonais installés dans les Hauts-de-France après la Première Guerre mondiale, il commence à jouer dans les corons où son père est mineur. Comme il se sent plus doué pour le football que pour les matières enseignés à l’école, dès l’âge de cinq ans, il passe le plus de temps possible à jouer des matchs. Son talent est déjà affirmé puisqu’à l’âge de 8 ans, avec des Polonais, quelques Français et des Italiens, il crée sa première équipe de football dans la rue qui se fait vite une réputation dans les corons. Repéré pour ses dribbles, dès l’âge de 11 ans, il intègre en 1941 le club de football local l’US Noeux-les-Mines où il est brillant joueur tandis que son frère Henri est gardien de but.
