To the Cinema Tiberio in Rimini Tuesday 14 May (5pm and 9pm, full price tickets €7, concessions €6, Tiberio Club concessions €5. The film is prohibited for children under the age of 14) as part of the festival DOC on Tour 2024promoted by FICE Emilia-Romagna, a repeat of the documentary is scheduled Cocoricò Tapes by Francesco Tavella: the story of the golden years of Cocoricò, a nightclub opened in Riccione in 1989, the year of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Disco, but also much more: a place of transgression and freedom, a sign of the changing times. Director Francesco Tavella draws on a small wealth of private footage and found VHS tapes. And he allows us to enter that place, that secular temple that welcomed all transgressions and all differences. And all this happened in years in which words like diversity, inclusiveness, transgression were far from the center of cultural and social discourse. Franco Battiato and Ilona Staller stop at Cocoricò, but above all many people looking for an open, free space in which to free themselves from fears and the sense of inadequacy. And be, in all respects, yourself.
The 90s, an “island of roses” right in the middle of the Romagna coast, in Riccione. Freedom, creativity and transgression told through rare images and films from those years.
