Freakbeat

A road movie through the Emila Region in search of rocks music’s “Holy Grail” : the lost recording of a mythical musical session between Equipe 84 and Jimi Hendrix. Impossible? Maybe.” But Freak Antoni, the deranged intellectual who here plays himself, believes in it and drags his daughter Margherita along with him in search for the mythical sound relic in a Volkswagen van.

The film-documentary is an opportunity to investigate the origin of the Po Valley Beat: a phenomenon of great musical excitement that touched the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia in the sixties; and became the platform of the success of great singers and bands from the region, such as the Nomadi, Equipe 84, Caterina Caselli and later on Zucchero, Vasco Rossi and Ligabue.
The film is co-produced by the Emilia-Romagna Region.
