Thinking Football Film Festival is a film and football festival with a social background, which seeks to showcase personal and social stories that nurture a passion for football. Organised by the Foundation of the prestigious Athletic Club of Bilbao, it is one of the most important film and football festivals in the world. 2020 will be its eighth year.

Any medium- or feature-length film in which football is the central theme or where it plays an important role, but which also tells a story that goes beyond the result of the matches, can take part in the festival.
