Tomorrow, Monday 18, will begin the 12th edition of the Thinking Football Film Festival. The festival will start at 19:00 hours with the screening of the film “The Last Taboo” in the BBK Hall of the Basque capital.

Tickets are free, as always, you must make the booking here.

Thomas Hitzlsperger and Amal Fashanu - director of the Justin Fashanu Foundation, niece of the late former player and renowned British journalist - will participate in the post-screening discussion.
