Documentary 'Nulla di sbagliato' captures Covid generation through diaries

other · 2026-04-27

The documentary 'Nulla di sbagliato', directed by Davide Barletti and Gabriele Gianni, premiered at the Biografilm Festival. It features 300 middle school students who were given diaries and video cameras to document their experiences during lockdown. The film, produced by Fondazione Cinemovel, was made entirely remotely without in-person meetings. It explores the emotional world of preadolescents caught between childhood and an uncertain adulthood, focusing on their private thoughts, dreams, and the impact of isolation. The directors describe the project as an invitation to listen and share, not to judge. The title reflects their approach: 'nothing wrong' with how these young people coped. The documentary aims to give voice to a generation that lacked public narrative during the pandemic.
