Le Film de mon père - A father's past, a son's reinvention

This insightful documentary captures a deeply personal exploration of memory, family legacy, and artistic reinvention. Raised in isolation between an adopted brother and sister, and haunted by the absence of his mother, Cristabel, Jules Guarneri confronts the filmed diary left by his reclusive father.

Instead of preserving the past, he reshapes it, claiming agency over the narrative of his upbringing. In a time when many artists are reexamining the weight of inherited trauma and identity, Jules’s story resonates as a moving, inventive act of turning the burdens of memory into creative freedom.
