Football Goats

Ms. Kasia Adamik presents in The Offsiders an idealistic vision of sport. It is noble in its simplicity; it is based on a belief that the joy of playing football and competing in the field can make people better and give them a hope, which is by no means illusory. This picture of football played by the homeless is cheerful, amusing and comforting to all fans of real football. Thanks to the movie we can believe, in spite of the noisy and obtrusive reality, that sport should not be left prey to scandals and crime, but that it can really be good fun as well as a vital part of social life. Therefore, for this hart-warming effect of her work, we would like to reward Ms. Kasia Adamik with the special prize of the 26th International Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino! - the Football Goats.
