The lineup includes 'François Truffaut – L'uomo che amava il cinema', a documentary by Alexandre Moix about the Nouvelle Vague pioneer who rejected bourgeois conventions and championed freedom of expression. 'Janis Joplin – Nine Hundred Nights' explores the singer's rise, including her start with Big Brother and the Holding Company, in a male-dominated music scene. 'Alain Delon – Il lato oscuro di una star' examines the actor's difficult early life and his path to fame through noir and crime roles.
