Life of the Artist

A most original interpretation of an E. A. Poe’s short novel, the film is set in the Belle Époque time and in the golden age of silent films.

8mm short showing an aspiring actress and her audition in Mauro Mingardi's studio.

The double point of view about a perfect murder in a short 8mm film, which glues the viewer to the screen while paying tribute to Hitchcock.

The house, which recalls ghosts from the past and acts as a place of remembrance, is the main character of a fascinating ghost-story.

A boy and a girl on a trip out of town, she is left alone and gets lured by an abandoned house, the danger, a hopeless safety. There lingers an unsettling anxiety between dream and reality. One amongst the first films by Mauro Mingardi, amateur filmmaker from Bologna, yet at ease with horror and dreamlike moods.
