Film of the Month: *Pénélope mon amour* by Claire Doyon

For this screening, we’re featuring *Pénélope mon amour* by Claire Doyon. For 18 years, the director filmed her daughter Pénélope, who has autism. Drawing on DV tapes, archival footage, and childhood memories, *Pénélope mon amour* traces a mother’s journey—her questions, her struggles against institutions, but above all, her path toward acceptance and unconditional love. A powerful, understated, and deeply human documentary.

Come share your passion for cinema and embark on another evening of discoveries and emotions!

This year, Documentary Month is also an opportunity to connect with others at the local level! This event will be held in conjunction with the Prévessin-Moëns Library, which will screen Sarah Moon Howe’s film “En attendant Zorro” on Tuesday, November 26.

These two works engage in a dialogue and respond to one another with immense subtlety, exploring themes of parenthood, disability, and the strength of family bonds. Be sure to check out this documentary diptych set in our region!
