The documentary ‘Be Brave’, directed by Francesco Carrozzini, explores the life of Diesel founder Renzo Rosso through the use of artificial intelligence. The project is noted as the first Italian documentary created entirely using AI tools to explore the relationship between human creativity and technology.

Following its announcement, the film premiered in the Venice Open section of the Venice International Film Festival. The production utilizes generative AI to recreate historical periods of Rosso’s life, such as his childhood, where no archival footage exists. This technological approach has prompted industry discussions regarding the role of AI in mainstream cinema and its impact on creativity and employment.
