Meaningful Movies Ballard presents “André is an Idiot”

October 7, 6:00pm - 8:00pm

In October, we will be showing André is an Idiot, a 2025 documentary directed by Tony Benna that chronicles the final years of San Francisco advertising executive André Ricciardi after he was diagnosed with terminal stage-IV colon cancer.

‘Andre is an Idiot’ shows us what it means to live happily, truthfully, and hilariously. In this Sundance award winning documentary, through comedic vérité sotrytlling and stop-motion interlodes, André Riccardi sets out to chronicle his final journey after receiving a diagnosis he could have prevented.

This will be a virtual showing, offered on Zoom.

A discussion with Anita, director of director of Colon Cancer Stars and stage 4 colon cancer survivor follows the film.
