The Sunday Ref

Telling the story of 69-year-old referee Francisco López, a man who continues to referee Sunday league games after a life dedicated to football, The Sunday Ref is a short film focusing on López’s thoughts with regards to the world he lives in. This world, of course, is influenced by the beautiful game, and he prefers to see it in its purest, most genuine form. Once a player in the reserves at Real Zaragoza, López reflects on the varying, yet constant role football has had in his life. The style of the short film mixes photography and video, placing emphasis on moments in time captured in the past and the Francisco’s Sunday refereeing routine.

Francisco’s goal is simple. As he states, “at my age, all I’m looking for is the satisfaction of refereeing, to do it as well as I can and for everyone to shake my hand at the end. This is my aim.”
