In 2014, Curtas Vila do Conde reaches its 22nd edition. Football moves large masses and is present in the daily life of the contemporary world. This year, the World Cup - Copa Brasil - has dominated the media attention, elevating football to the most important sport of our days. Cinema has also incorporated the sport as a cultural and social phenomenon, which affects both political problems and family conflicts. Curtas Vila do Conde wanted to join this party with cinema and football, launching Fora de Jogo edition.
