Lying in the sun on a beach, binge-watching TV, listening to The Archers<\/a>… but for the grandfather\u00a0<\/b>of\u00a0<\/b>Florent Piovesan<\/a>\u00a0his main passion in life is cycling.<\/p>\n

In this short documentary\u00a0shot by French filmmaker\u00a0Florent Piovesan<\/a>\u00a0for his grandfather’s 80th birthday, or as he likes to call it ‘his 4th 20th birthday’, we are given a glimpse of the pensioner’s early life, why he became interested in cycling, what compels him to do it now and more importantly, will he ever stop?<\/p>\n

Having achieved a staff pick on Vimeo<\/a> and filmed using what appears to be a mixture of Go Pro and domestic camera equipment it further emphasis’s the\u00a0importance of a good story.<\/p>\n

Piovesan<\/a>‘s other work consists of videos that capture the beauty in things we see every day. His video\u00a0‘Portrait of New York | Black & White Edit<\/a>‘ filmed on a\u00a0Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, captures streets and architecture from within the city as though they were photographs emphasising on the different cultures within the city itself.<\/p>\n
