The Male Gaze: Strikers & Defenders

From the soccer pitch to the locker room, this drama-fueled quartet of shorts from Germany, France and the UK probes how rivalry between teams can spill over into teacher-pupil relationships, high school crushes and brotherly compassion. The short films are: Islands [Inseln] (2018); Play It Like a Man [Un été viril] (2018); Colours (2015); Through the Fields [Passer les champs] (2015).
