24·90 FC is a film festival devoted to football, in Medellín, Colombia. Cinema for football people, football for cinema people.
Four days in a city where football plays at home on every corner, devoted to football cinema from around the world. One condition holds the programme together: football must be present, whether as the core of the story, as its trigger, or as the setting where it unfolds. Format, running time and cinematic language are free.
Organised by Corporación Cinéfagos, 15 years running film festivals in Antioquia.
