SYNOPSIS
In a forgotten detention center built to contain time travelers, an astrophysicist and his team are torn by the fear of change and the empathy they feel towards these distant descendants. But what if the borders of space and time were soon to disappear?
Bigoli Bang is a surreal journey where romance collides with absurd humor, shot entirely in a crumbling 19th-century factory in Northern Italy.
Powered by community-driven filmmaking from the ground up, Bigoli Bang was made on a micro-budget whereby most of the cast and crew came from the local area — film enthusiasts, artists, and friends who brought the story to life with creativity and heart. Working with minimal gear and shared resources, the team transformed an abandoned industrial space into a dystopian world of time travel and collapse.
As the very first feature film by Bigoli Pictures, this project was — in many ways — the Big Bang that set everything in motion.
Bigoli Bang is a piece of underground sci-fi cinema that celebrates resilience, imagination, and the power of collaboration.
The Director
Jérôme is an artist, director, and actor, born in Paris and currently based in Nantes. He is the author of several films, short films, and music videos, and lectures at both the University of Shanghai and Paris 3IS.
His two feature-length films are Italian. Italian represents a kind of rebirth for him—a new language, free of judgment, in which he feels completely liberated.
In 2019, Jérôme was awarded a residency funded by the Veneto Region and the European Union to create a film inside an abandoned 19th-century factory, the Fabbrica Alta in Schio. The resulting film is titled Bigoli Bang.
His first independent feature film, The Chairs of God (2014), was selected for the Milan Film Festival and screened in cinematheques in both Milan and Rome.
In 2021, he won the Best Music Video award at the Italian festival Ullapeppa with Les Géraniums.
