Filming of 'Campeones', Javier Fesser's new film, ends
El rodaje ha transcurrido a lo largo de nueve semanas por diversas localidades de Madrid y alrededores y en la provincia de Huelva.
El director Javier Fesser, ganador de seis Premios Goya y nominado a los Premios Oscar de la Academia de Hollywood, ha concluido el rodaje de Champions, su nueva película, tras su anterior incursión en el cine de animación con Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el cachondo.
Champions es una comedia llena de sentimientos y humor, con grandes dosis de surrealismo, por las especiales situaciones que viven los personajes, algo habitual en los films de Javier Fesser (El Milagro de P.Tinto, El sedcleto de la trompeta…).
Javier Gutiérrez plays the protagonist, Marco, a professional basketball coach who finds himself, in the midst of a personal crisis, training a team made up of people with intellectual disabilities. What begins as a punishment ends up becoming a life lesson.
In addition to Javier Gutiérrez (The Minimum Island, Escape Plan), the casting is made up of a group of debuting actors with intellectual disabilities: Sergio Olmo, Julio Fernández, Jesús Lago, Jesús Vidal, José de Luna, Fran Fuentes, Gloria Ramos, Alberto Nieto Fernández, Roberto Chinchilla and Stefan López. Athenea Mata, Juan Margallo, Luisa Gavasa and Daniel Freire complete the cast. David Marqués is the author of the script along with Fesser himself.
Fesser assures that "Champions addresses the fascinating world of people with intellectual disabilities with the same sincerity and naturalness with which they face their lives. Their general lack of prejudices on any subject and their enviable penchant for saying things exactly as they think them allow their protagonists to go through an irredeemably fun and humanly delicious adventure.”
Pendelton Films, Morena Films and Movistar+ are the producers of Champions which has the participation of TVE. Distribution in Spain will be carried out by Universal Pictures International Spain.
