Javier Cámara won the Silver Shell for Best Supporting Performance at the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival for his role in '5 More Minutes,' the Movistar Plus Original film produced by El Terrat and Ikiru Films, written by Berto Romero and directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera.

In '5 More Minutes,' Javier Cámara shares the lead with Berto Romero and Belén Cuesta. The film marks Romero's debut as a film creator and screenwriter, and he also produces alongside Bernat Elías, Javier Méndez, Edmon Roch and Movistar Plus.

With '5 More Minutes,' he teams up again with Berto Romero, his regular creative partner, whom he has directed in 'El otro lado,' 'Mira lo que has hecho,' 'Spy Time,' 'Tres bodas de más' and 'Wolfgang.'

Rounding out the cast are Carlos Bernardino ('Iron Reign'), Marc Soler ('UPA Next'), Clàudia Melo ('En los márgenes'), Puchi Lagarde ('Galgos'), Tian Tosas ('The Last Night at Tremore Beach') and Nia Tosas ('El mal invisible').

'5 More Minutes' hits theaters on January 22, 2027, distributed by Filmax, and will stream exclusively on Movistar Plus following its theatrical run.

Synopsis

'5 More Minutes' tells the story of a couple locked in constant arguments who decide to spend a weekend at a secluded country house. On arrival, they're greeted by a representative from the rental agency, who shows them around and hands over the keys. But what starts as a simple weekend getaway soon takes an extraordinary turn, forcing the couple to confront a series of exceptional circumstances and make equally extraordinary decisions.

Mediapro Argentina delivers extensive coverage of the South American Games with more than 130 professionals and innovative remote production systems

The group covered more than 4,000 athletes from 15 countries at an event spanning 43 sports and 60 disciplines

GRUP MEDIAPRO played a leading role in producing the XIII South American Games, held in Santa Fe, Argentina, from September 12 to 26, bringing top-tier technical infrastructure and a large team to deliver broadcast coverage across the Games' many competitions.

Unit 32 kicked things off, broadcasting the opening ceremony at the National Flag Memorial, where sport, music and technology came together in a massive show in front of thousands of spectators.

Over 14 days of work across four different cities (Santa Fe, Rosario, Rafaela and Paraná), the group ran three mobile production units with 12 cameras each for key disciplines including swimming, artistic swimming, trampoline, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic roller skating, men's football and archery, delivering live coverage that met international quality standards.

At the same time, GRUP MEDIAPRO put five remote production units with four cameras each to work covering another 14 disciplines, streamlining technical and operational resources without sacrificing broadcast excellence. These included rugby, road cycling, canoe slalom, badminton, tennis, squash, softball, wrestling, taekwondo, equestrian and open water swimming. 

Pulling this off took more than 130 professionals, including camera operators, sound technicians, directors, camera assistants, video operators and replay operators, a multidisciplinary team tasked with capturing every moment of the competition and bringing it to millions of viewers. Coverage meant 15-hour broadcast days with 50 cameras running simultaneously across nine disciplines daily, for 14 uninterrupted days.

In doing so, GRUP MEDIAPRO covered the performances of more than 4,000 athletes from 15 countries at an event spanning 43 sports and 60 disciplines. The group's work at the South American Games underscores its ability to deliver large-scale projects at international sporting events, blending technology, innovation and human talent into world-class audiovisual experiences.

'Compañeros' returns to Atresmedia with its original stars

Atresmedia and Globomedia revive the series that defined a generation 25 years ago

'Compañeros', one of the most iconic series in Spanish television history, returns 25 years later with its original characters, now grown into adults. Atresmedia and Globomedia are reviving the show, once again starring Antonio Hortelano as Quimi and Eva Santolaria as Valle, but now as adults and without Azcona High School.

The series, co-produced by Atresmedia in collaboration with Globomedia, aired on Antena 3 from March 1998 to July 2002. Its nine seasons built a fan phenomenon episode by episode, but... what happened to the school's most popular gang? Did they live out the dreams they had at 17? Did they picture themselves like this, closing in on 50? Those kids, though they share the same DNA, have changed, and their old stories about friendship, family, love, sex and drugs give way to new ones, now well into their 40s.

As María José Rodríguez, Managing Director of Globomedia, puts it: "Some series belong to an era, and others become part of our lives. 'Compañeros' was one of those." She added: "More than 25 years later, stepping back into this universe means reconnecting with a generation that grew up with its characters."

'El otro Chiquito' arrives on Movistar Plus

A documentary written and directed by Javier Morales and Juan Zavala, based on an original idea by Diego San José

'El otro Chiquito', produced by Movistar Plus in collaboration with Globomedia, revisits the bizarre legal battle that pitted Chiquito de la Calzada against Lucas Grijander, the character played by Florentino Fernández.

Before arriving on the platform, the film screened in the Made in Spain section at the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival. Written and directed by Javier Morales and Juan Zavala from an original idea by Diego San José, the production uses that media clash as a jumping-off point to revisit one of the most singular chapters in 1990s Spanish pop culture.

Featuring Florentino Fernández, Pepe Navarro, Mario Conde, Nieves Herrero, Ramón García, José Mercé and other figures from the era, the film paints a portrait of Gregorio Sánchez, the man behind Chiquito de la Calzada, and a phenomenon that ultimately outgrew its creator to become part of the collective imagination of an entire country.
