For the 21st time, the 11mm – International Football Film Festival brought football to the place where it truly comes alive: the movie theater.

From March 26 to 30, 2026, the historic Colosseum Berlin on Schönhauser Allee became a gathering place for stories of triumphs and tragedies, legends and underdogs. As is tradition, the “Short Kicks” short film evening marked the conclusion of the festival, during which the winners of the individual competitions were also announced:

Grand Jury Prize: Rise & Fall of 1860 Munich (Director: Lennard Bedford-Strohm); Young Jury Prize: Sapir (Director: Liran Atzmor); Audience Award: 360 Pieces (Director: Johannes Stjärne Nilsson); Short Film Award: Kutte (Director: Sylvie Hohlbaum).

The team would like to thank the wonderful audience, all participants, partners, and sponsors. See you next year!
