Italy’s Fandango to Launch Sales at Cannes of Buzzy Lost Caravaggio Doc ‘The Sleeper,’ Directed by Álvaro Longoria (EXCLUSIVE)
Italy's Fandango will launch sales at Cannes of the Álvaro Longoria-directed doc 'The Sleeper,' about a lost Caravaggio found in Spain.
Italy’s Fandango will be launching sales at the Cannes Marché du Film on “The Sleeper,” a doc directed by Spain’s Alvaro Longoria about a lost Caravaggio painting depicting a thorn-crowned Christ that’s been making global headlines and will soon be displayed at the Prado museum in Madrid. “What happens when a painting that has always adorned the living room of an ordinary house turns out to be a unique work of art in the world?” reads the doc’s logline.” What path does the investigation follow to determine its authenticity? Based on an original story conceived by Longoria – who is a co-founder of Spain’s Morena Films – with Mediacrest’s Gerardo Olivares and Estrategia Audiovisual’s Ricardo Fernández-Deu, “The Sleeper” is co-produced with Italy’s prominent Fandango, the indie behind veteran auteurs such as Nanni Moretti as well as up and coming directors.
