What happens when a filmmaker picks up her camera without knowing where it will take her? In TUTTI FRUTTI (2026), Céline Sciamma (Petite maman, FFG2022) brings together fragments she has been filming since 2022. She conceived the project as her own ‘secret’: a personal space in which she could explore her struggles with the world and rediscover the pure joy of filmmaking. Unlike her meticulously crafted screenplays, she let the film unfold organically: she followed her curiosity and only discovered, during the editing process, which stories lay hidden within the footage. From this freedom emerges her ‘accidental cinema’, in which birdsong, archive footage, AI and the presence of Adèle Haenel come together in a reflection on solidarity, activism and disappearance. TUTTI FRUTTI is screened alongside This Is How a Child Becomes a Poet (2022), her tender tribute to Patrizia Cavalli.
