Picturehouse Entertainment and Altitude Film Distribution release the critically acclaimed PALIO - a film capturing the thrills, spills, ambitions and intrigues that characterise one of the world’s oldest and most exhilarating events. PALIO will be available digitally from 6th November and on DVD from 9th November 2015.
From female director and Tuscan native Cosima Spender, PALIO is co-written and co-produced by John Hunt with James Gay-Rees, whose recent work includes the newly crowned biggest British documentary of all time AMY and the BAFTA winning and internationally acclaimed Senna. Francesco Melzi d’Eril, behind award-winning features including Black Souls Border, White Shadow and I Am Love, executive produced.
The Palio is the oldest horse race in the world, and turns the Italian city of Siena into a high-stakes battleground of strategy, intrigue, and simmering machismo.
