Aalst, belgium director Jan Verheyen is on Monday morning at the Putstraat in Meldert landed for the recording of the fourth FC De Kampioenen-film. As with the previous print, is the café By Stinne, together with the character of the football field, the backdrop for a large piece of the pictures.
That the cafe of the late Stinne Aelbrecht again was used, showed no surprise. “Also, the previous recordings of the Champions movie was here already”, says Joost Roggeman, one of the current owners of the café. “Ultimately, last year, we re-contacted by a location hunter. That is someone who goes in search of the right location for films. The combination of our café, along with the football field, proved ideal for FC The Champions. We are the café for six days to the filmmakers. We get a kind of compensation because we during the shooting our case has not able to open. Normally we have Friday night already open. For us it is nice that our café in such a fun way comes into the picture.”
