The diary

2025-07-26 · 14 min · ★ 10.0

Documentary

A visual story that captures the essence of the Giffoni Film Festival, described by François Truffaut as “the most necessary of festivals.” It is not a simple documentary, but an emotional diary that mixes daily observations with creative narration. It is an intimate and collective look at Giffoni, a place that every summer is transformed into a small cinema town, inhabited by real emotions and personal visions. A tribute to cinema as a tool for growth and to a festival that manages to give a voice to those who, through cinema, seek to better understand themselves and the world.

Les Audacieux.ses2026Documentary

François, Renée, Gisèle, Sylvain. These seniors do not have much in common, but their lives have been shaped by episodes of abandonment, rejection, or fear. Some still live in invisibility, afraid of how others will look at them. Loneliness weighs heavily. For others, living with HIV has worn down their bodies, and old age arrives more quickly. Then there is a hope: that of a house in Lyon where they will finally be able to be themselves. A place where it will be possible to grow old without ever having to hide again. There is that family we choose for ourselves. The feeling that a new chapter is opening—the last one—filled with promise, and with the boldness of all those first times we finally allow ourselves, so late in life. But when it comes to becoming visible, the fears accumulated over a lifetime are never far away. And they come to pull our courageous dreamers back from their dream: should they take the leap?
