About The Male Gaze: Strikers & Defenders
Work up a sweat from the soccer field to the locker room in these drama-fueled four films from Germany, France and the UK that explore 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).
Directed by Fabien Cavacas, Laurent Lunetta, Ron Jäger, Camille Melvil, Peter Lee Scott, The Male Gaze: Strikers & Defenders leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Jarvis, Matthieu Lucci, Samuel Theis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
