NONNA MÌMI

My biggest fear has always been the possibility to lose my memory.

The idea of not remembering is terrifying cause memories are a founding part of one's identity.

This short animated movie was part of my Bachelor's Dissertation alongside a written study about monstes as portrays of fears in the history of Cinema and Animation, particularly stop-motion animation.

Narrated in rhymes in order to convey a youthful tone of voice and to create a contrast with the theme, the short tells the story of Mìmi, an old lady suffering from Alzheimer's Syndrome and the effects the sickness causes to her life.
