Written by Santiago Roncagliolo and Gisela Antonuccio

HBO Max has recently premiered “Muxes” in Latin America, a Max Original documentary developed and produced by Oficina Burman and THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO Mexico, which is looking to raise awareness of the culture of this little known race of people and their fundamental role in society.

With the script written by the writer and journalist Santiago Roncagliolo in collaboration with the writer Gisela Antonuccio, “Muxes” brings together a team made up of a photographer, a poet, a teacher, and an activist as they go inside the world of this little known community, highlighting their fight for acceptance and integration from the standpoint of the violence and discrimination which they face and even on occasions from within their group. From these first-hand accounts, the series showcases how this community is fighting for integration through dance, cuisine and festivals such as the Vela, a celebration which emerged in the 1970’s as a response to the rejection the Muxe community faced.

The documentary takes the viewer to the Tehuantepec, Oaxaca region in Mexico, also known as the cradle of the Muxes. This region in the south of the country is home to the biggest Muxes community in the country with close to 3,000 members. Cooks, seamstresses, weavers and artisans are just some of the skills within the group whose name comes from the Zapata term for the man who assumes the role of a woman either in a social, sexual or personal context in the local community. That’s why it’s impossible to separate the term Muxe from the community, as it’s part of their thousand-year old identity.

The executive producers of the series from Oficina Burman (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO) are Jimena Hernández, Lucía Chávarri and Sandino Saravia Vinay.

UCAM Tokiers, crowned champions with 200,000 spectators following all the action on the LVP (GRUP MEDIAPRO) Twitch channel

The League of Legends Iberian Cup, the knock-out competition organised by LVP (GRUP MEDIAPRO), has crowned a new champion: UCAM Tokiers. The team from Murcia beat Heretics, the current Superliga and European Masters champions, in a closely-fought battle (3-1) played last Saturday at PortAventura Convention Centre in PortAventura World, which had already sold out the venue for the 900 tickets available for the event. The final attracted 200,000 spectators on the LVP Twitch channel, the best numbers of the Iberian Cup, with more than 127,000 hours watched, reaching a peak of 32,602 simultaneous viewers.

UCAM Tokiers beat the pre-event odds and came away with the Iberian Cup League of Legends, which this year was holding its fifth edition of the competition. With the Pole Dominik "Zamulek" Biela at the helm, the MVP in the final, the team from Murcia won out against a Heretics team that pitched up at PortAventura as the Superliga and European Masters champions.

There was no triple for the heretics, despite running out easy winners of the first map. UCAM Tokiers, however, came out fighting in the second map showcasing the excellent level of play which had taken them to the final. In the fourth map, one of the most even of the series, Heretics were still right in it and looking likely to take it to a fifth map, but UCAM was able to win the group battles and ended up winning the map and were crowned champions.

The Iberian Cup League of Legends was sponsored this season by OMEN, Intel, El Corte Inglés, Mahou, Takis, Domino´s, PortAventura, Air Europa and. Goldcar.  

A Movistar Plus+ original mystery genre production in collaboration with El Terrat (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO)

Berto Romero has taken his first steps in the world of horror productions with “El otro lado”, a Movistar Plus+ original production in collaboration with El Terrat, directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera and Alberto de Toro. Berto Romero is the creator and scriptwriter along with Rafel Barceló and Enric Pardo, as well as starring in the production which is currently being filmed in Barcelona and which is slated for premiere in 2023 on Movistar Plus+.

For the creator and star of the series, “El otro lado” it’s "a challenge in all respects". "The series is technically much more complex than the series 'Mira lo que has hecho' was, we’ve got two directors (Javier Ruiz Caldera and Alberto de Toro) to help with a similar format: six 30-minute episodes". "Comedy and horror are good bed-mates a priori because they produce spontaneous reactions, laughter and shock produce body spasms and I thought it would be great to see what happened when you mix the two genres. It’s not something I invented, but I was interested in taking it a little bit further than it had been before and try to get a greater symbiosis. Take two extra steps forward with radical emotions".

Cast

Berto Romero (“Mira lo que has hecho”, 'El Pregón”, “Tiempo después”, “Ocho apellidos catalanes”) heads the main cast alongside Andreu Buenafuente (“El Pregón”, “Tiempo después”), Eva Ugarte (“Mira lo que has hecho”, “El juego de las llaves”), María Botto (“Código emperador”, “Malnazidos”), Nacho Vigalondo (“Veneno”, “Camino”, “Open Windows”), Albert García (“Rebooted”), María Pascual (“Amor de cans”) and the teenage actor Hugo Morenilla (“Campamento Newton”, “Un hombre de acción”).
