Overview

Notturno is a 2020 Italian documentary directed by Gianfranco Rosi, filmed over three years along the volatile borders of Iraq, Kurdistan, Syria, and Lebanon. Rather than focusing on geopolitical analysis or frontline combat, the film turns its gaze to the quiet, everyday resilience of ordinary people attempting to rebuild their lives in the wake of civil wars, foreign invasions, authoritarian regimes, and the devastating passage of ISIS. A visually poetic and deeply human portrait of survival and endurance, Notturno was awarded the Silver Lion at the Venice International Film Festival and stands as a landmark of contemporary documentary filmmaking.
