Does God Play Football

I saw this short when I attended the Berlin International Film Festival, (incidentally it came runner up best short in it's section). I've seen tons of shorts and so often they are inaccessible and uninteresting to their audience, This in contrast did exactly the opposite, set in the 60's this is a lovely tale about a young boy who misinterprets what his mum has told him about God to believe that he must be like Jesus. The story is engaging from the beginning, and the performance from it's young star Michael DeBurca is just heart rendering. It was more like watching a short feature instead of a short. This is an Intelligent, funny and beautifully shot film and one to look out for.
