Football’s two halves take place within the confines of the rules and regulations of the 90 minutes; but the third half takes place within the limitless possibilities of fan’s minds. To be a football fan is to be a witness, a mythologizer, obsessive, pundit and dreamer. From Sara, an Iranian woman who risks beating and imprisonment for attending a match, to the Thai football team trapped deep beneath the Earth during the 2018 World Cup, this series is a collaboration with some of football’s most unique fans. A Game of Three Halves uses the unbridled creativity of handcrafted animation to bring to life never before told stories from the beautiful game.
A partnership with Closer's Matthew Bate, COPA90 and Animator Case Jernigan.
