As part of the final session of the 6th edition of LabDoc 2025, Meditalents’ documentary screenwriting residency, a closing day is being organized in collaboration with Aix-Marseille University and the Master’s program in Creative Documentary on Friday, September 12.

The morning will feature a masterclass with Jean-Gabriel Périot, the special guest of this edition, moderated by director Adriano Valerio. This will be a unique opportunity for an in-depth exchange around the distinctive body of work of Jean-Gabriel Périot.

As summer begins, our residents gather once again for the second session of LabMed. They continue developing their fiction feature films with the guidance of Fabrizio Mosca and Claire Barré.

Screening of Planète, closing film of the 2025 Cannes Critics' Week. Directed by Momoko Seto and co-written by Alain Layrac, mentor at LabSud 2024 & 2025, Planète offers a singular work blending visual poetry with a sharp perspective on our world.

Screening of Un Paese di Resistenza, the new documentary by Shu Aiello, mentor at LabDoc 2025.
A former symbol of migrant hospitality, the village of Riace in Calabria is now weakened by the rise of populism and faces a stark choice: resist or disappear.
