SYNOPSIS
In a forgotten detention center built to contain time travelers, an astrophysicist and his team are torn between fear and empathy for 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 humour — a meditation on power, connection, and the fragile order of our world — 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 with most of the cast and crew drawn 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 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 works, and music videos, and lectures at both the University of Shanghai and Paris 3IS.
His two feature-length films are Italian. For Jérôme, the Italian language represents a kind of personal rebirth — a space of creative freedom and emotional truth where 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 result was his second feature, Bigoli Bang.
His first independent feature, The Chairs of God (2014), was selected at 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 for Les Géraniums.
