1978	Argentina	Copa 78 - O Poder do Futebol Campeones	Sérgio Chapelin Steve Hudson		Two versions of the 1978 official film exist, the first "Copa 78 - O Poder do Futebol" ("Cup '78: The Power of Football")^[7] was made by Brazilian directors Maurício Sherman and Victor di Mello in 1979 but was later withdrawn by FIFA because of its controversial content.^[8] The film includes an interview with Rodolfo Galimberti, one of the leaders of the Montoneros guerrilla group and also made accusations that the Argentinian competition organisation committee had deliberately hindered Brazilian chances of success by tampering with the pitch at Mar del Plata.^[9] The film is available on the Internet Archive.^[10] The second film (Campeones, "Champions") was made by Worldmark Productions in 1991 and uses much of the footage shot in 1978, but omits all of the controversial interviews and commentary. This film also uses television footage of goals otherwise unrecorded by the cinematic cameras used in the original production, and also overdubs simulated crowd noise in several scenes. This version is now the only official 1978 film released by FIFA for broadcast or purchase.^[2]
