WINNER OF THE THINKING AUDIENCIE AWARD

The film “Nossa Chape” has won the Audience Award at the Thinking Football Film Festival 2019. The film directed by Michael and Jeff Zimbalist brothers, “Nossa Chape”, has won the Audience Award at the Thinking Football Film Festival 2019. The documentary, based on the aerial tragedy suffered by the Brazilian team of Chapecoense on November 28th 2016, inaugurated the seventh edition of the festival, which closed last Friday 22nd after an intense week in which 9 high quality feature films were shown. Brazilian-produced “Nossa Chape” thrilled audiences who packed the Sala BBK, a visibly emotional audience that voted in favor of the Brazilian-produced film.

The screening of the documentary was attended by Michael Zimbalist, one of the two directors of the film; Julian Duque, co-director; and Rafael Henzel, who was on the plane and was one of the six survivors of the tragedy.

The Athletic Club Foundation, organizer of the Thinking Football Film Festival together with the Sala BBK and with the sponsorship of Euskaltel, would like to thank all those people, media and entities that have made it possible for this seventh edition of the festival to be held with great public success, thus consolidating one of the most relevant cultural initiatives of the Athletic Club Foundation.
