Mindemic, debut film from the Italo-Australian director Giovanni Basso, stars Giorgio Colangeli as the elderly director.
The setting for the film is an apartment in a suburb of Rome where the main character spends his days, never going outside. The setting becomes key to the unfolding of the history and development of the character. The walls that enclose the development of his story represent a claustrophobic space that Nino (Colangeli) manages to escape with his creativity and imagination.
Structured as a metaphor of the artist’s creative life, the film is a universal story about insecurity and the concept of abandoning traditional composition structures. Divergence from the norm is also underlined in the director’s choice to shoot entirely on iPhone, thereby making the most of the technical-artistic possibilities that it offers: freedom of movement and agility.
The film was shot entirely in Rome in an apartment in via Galeazzo Alessi (Tor Pignattara). A single scene was shot in Giordano Sangalli park in viale dell'Acquedotto Alessandrino, one of the three public parks in the Tor Pignattara neighbourhood.

As he attempts to write his new film, Nino – a 70 year old director in his twilight years – gets lost in an artistic and personal whirlwind where the memories and characters of a lifetime meld with those of the story he wants to tell, creating a short circuit so he can no longer tell the difference between truth and fiction.
