A short Super 8 visual diary shot by French photographer Claude Nori along the Italian coast in 1982. This experimental short captures the unscripted days and casual interactions of Italian beachgoers. It was created to inspire and serve as the creative foundation for Nori's celebrated later work, "L'été italien", a photography book featuring images from these exact beaches.
Directed by Claude Nori
