Davos Film Festival : Private Screening + Panel (Mass Impact Through Storytelling)
Davos Film Festival is an invite-only film festival hosted annually during World Economic Forum in Davos. Sponsored by Untold Capital, an impact storytelling venture fund, DFF invites extraordinary filmmakers to showcase their work.
This year, join the highly acclaimed director and writer Lia Beltrami for a private screening and panel dedicated to exploring the intersection of documentary filmmaking and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, with a particular focus on the Social aspect of these global issues. This curated screening will highlight the power of storytelling to amplify voices that challenge societal norms and inspire change, with an emphasis on films that shine a light on social justice, inclusion, and resilience.
The centerpiece of the event is the latest work by director Lia Beltrami, Green Lava. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Dolomites, Green Lava follows 22-year-old Giacomo, a young man living with muscular dystrophy, as he embarks on a journey to live life on his own terms. Defying expectations, Giacomo refuses to be defined by his condition and instead chooses to forge his own path, finding strength in his society and friends and in his deep connection to the mountains he calls home. In the meantime, he portrays the thin line between life and death like a true seeker.
The film offers a powerful meditation on independence, the human spirit, and the transformative power of community in the face of adversity.
Through Green Lava, Beltrami invites audiences to consider the importance of accessibility, resilience, and the right to self-determination in a world that often marginalizes those with disabilities. The film provides a poignant reflection on how social barriers can be dismantled, not through pity or charity, but through empowerment and solidarity.
This event will also include a panel discussion on the role of documentary film in advancing ESG goals, exploring how filmmakers can contribute to a more just and inclusive society. The event is a celebration of social impact, storytelling, and the commitment to raising awareness of the issues that matter most.
