gLocal Doc is presenting Tamburi lontani. Pellerossa ’97 by Alberto Signetto and Pier Milanese.

gLocal Doc, the series of rendez-vous dedicated to premieres of documentary films conceived and produced in our region, is back for its 2017/2018 season. The project was born from an idea by Piemonte Movie in collaboration with the Film Commission Turin Piemonte and the National Cinema Museum.

The first rendez-vous is with Tamburi lontani. Pellerossa ’97 by Alberto Signetto and Pier Milanese. Before the Todays, before the Flowers Festival, before the Traffic, there has always been a desire for live music. 1997 was the summer of the Pellerossa Festival: one of the first great pop music events capable of attracting very many passionate youngsters. This vintage testimonial talks about the challenges of a new music festival which committed to the challenge of ranging out, even geographically, from the "protected reservation" of a city in order to open itself to the free and endless spaces of the prairie. The screening is organised in collaboration with Seeyousound - International Music Film Festival and Hiroshima Non Amour.

Admission 5.00 euro.

Tamburi lontani. Pellerossa ’97 (Distant drums. Red Indians ’97)

(Italy 1997, 85’, Hd, col.)

Once free from its concentration-like  horror of the past, the former asylum at Collegno offered itself for the first time as an ideal abode for the free, joyous aggregations of musical tribes during that period. The rehearsals, the concerts and the complicated relationships with bands and singers take us back to the summer of 1997.
