From the mid 80s Belle Époque Film extended its activity beyond sports to produce industrial, commercial and tourist films characterised by the dynamism and imagination derived from the experience of shooting the sport events.

The shooting are typically cinematographic with constantly new and subjective frames, and details which permit to "enter into the subject" and to keep constantly alive the viewer’s attention.
