Brief Explanation

The Game of Fast is inspired from the very fast paced Handball game. Being one of the most intense and demanding sports, it takes a lot of preparation and dedication to be a top-level handball player. The film portrays the journey a player has to go through to become a top athlete and represent his country in the Men's Handball World Championship, the highest honor in Handball. The film sequences showcase the intensity of training from the novice, amateur, athlete and then professional level. This intensity is also explored in the fans’ experience and anticipation while visiting Qatar, the host country for the 2015 World Championship. The focus of the film is the path leading towards wining the championship; a unique and intense fight towards conquering oneself before ultimately challenging the competition.
