Cocoricò Tapes: Documentary on the Iconic Italian Nightclub

A new documentary titled Cocoricò Tapes chronicles the rise of the Cocoricò nightclub in Riccione, a legendary techno music venue that was a cultural hub from the 1990s to early 2000s. Directed by Francesco Tavella with original music by Matteo Vallicelli, the film uses archival footage from 1992 to 2000 to capture the club's avant-garde performances and its role as a space for gender expression before it became mainstream. The documentary features interviews with key figures including art director Loris Riccardi, director Renzo Palmieri, PR Silvia Minguzzi, and performer Principe Maurice. Produced by La Furia Film and Sunset Produzioni, Cocoricò Tapes is touring Italian festivals this summer, with screenings at Ribeca-Electropark in Senigallia (August 19), Bellaria FF Open Air in Bellaria Igea Marina (August 22), Nòt Film Festival in Santarcangelo di Romagna (August 26), and Rete Cinema in Laguna in Venice (August 28).
