ROCKVILLE
A short film with BICICLISTAWatch the 9-min short film on Vimeo <<
Amidst the seemingly endless fields of the north Italian
Po Valley you find Villa Rocca — a 20 people strong village, dominated by a 500-year-old, inexorably crumbling castle.
For one day a year, the magical morbid place comes to life, when a colorful bunch of velophile Italians convert the castle grounds into a single speed cyclocross course.
Shot on location in Villarocca, Italy.
Official selection at BFF NYC 2012 part of the worldwide festival program 2012/2013.
