Film Lens
Forza Bastia is a 26-minute film that captures a UEFA Cup match between PSV Eindhoven and SC Bastia, held at the Furiani Stadium in 1978. Directed by Jacques Tati, the film was created at the request of Gilberto Trigano, the President of the Bastia club. The match serves as the focal point, showcasing the atmosphere and excitement surrounding this significant event in football history.
The film was shelved for many years before Tati's daughter, Sophie Tatischeff, assembled the footage for broadcast on French television in 2000 and 2002. This restoration allowed audiences to experience the match and the cultural context of the time, reflecting Tati's unique perspective on the sport and its impact on the community.
