ARCHIVE · 17—20 SEPTEMBER 2026

Documentaries

Listening, observing, interrogating the present. Documentaries meet people, places and communities, bringing to the screen experiences that deserve time and attention.

THE WORKS

21 works in the archive

Cinema of the real builds relationships between the storyteller, the subject and the viewer. In the catalogue you can find out about the subjects, creators and credits of the works.

The published archive currently comprises 21 documentaries, taking into account withdrawals and updates. The documentary submissions originally received via FilmFreeway were 23. The catalogue does not coincide with the screening selection.

The archive of the first edition

The first edition took place in L'Aquila from 17th to 20th September 2026. The profile pages retain the synopses, authors and credits of the works in the catalogue. The catalogue does not coincide with the screening selection.

The documentaries in the 2026 archive

The published archive currently includes 21 documentaries from the first edition of the CIAQ Film Festival. The works meet people, places, and communities, observing the present through different experiences and perspectives. The catalog entries collect synopses, authors, and credits, allowing the audience to get to know the subjects and people involved in the creation of each work.

The current number takes into account the withdrawals and updates made to the archive. The original documentary submissions received through FilmFreeway were 23. The total number of submissions and the number of works currently published do not coincide, as they describe two different moments: the initial reception of the works and the updated configuration of the catalog.

What indicates the presence in the catalog

The inclusion of a documentary in the archive does not mean its presence in the selection of screenings. The published catalog collects the works and related informational materials, but does not coincide with the program presented in the theater. This distinction allows for proper consultation of the profiles without assigning them a selection status not indicated on the page.

The first edition took place in L’Aquila from September 17 to 20, 2026. The archive retains the information dedicated to the documentaries and allows you to explore the works through the individual tabs. From the catalog, you can also access the other sections of the festival, dedicated to feature films and short films.
