Private Project

Down the line

Oliver is waiting outside the family home for his brother Liam, who arrives in his four-wheeled home. Even though they haven’t seen each other in a long time, it doesn’t take long until they're
back in routine, as brothers do. They recreate their past pass times as they eat junk food, listen to music, and even start silly fights. No matter how much they're enjoying being back together they both know that the day will eventually end and they will have to face the music of their different lifestyles.

Director Biography - Umberto Baldacci

Umberto Baldacci was born in San Marino in 1997. He graduated first in cinema at Fine Art Academy of Bologna, Italy and then in film directing at the Screen Academy Scotland in Edinburgh. His main inspirations come from new waves of French and American cinema but also modern European cinema. Themes he explored with his films are human relationships, family issues, love but also obsession, grief and alienation.

Umberto Baldacci nasce a San Marino nel 1997. Dopo il Liceo Scientifico si trasferisce a Bologna dove si laurea in Linguaggi del cinema e dell’audiovisivo all’Accademia di Belle Arti.
Qui inizia a dirigere i primi cortometraggi tra cui “Fino a tardi”, nel 2019. Si laurea con una tesi sulla narrazione aperta nel cinema contemporaneo, con particolare attenzione al cinema
di David Lynch e Roman Polanski. Nel 2020, si trasferisce ad Edimburgo dove si laurea in Regia cinematografica alla Screen Academy Scotland dove dirige Down the Line (2022). Le
sue principali ispirazioni derivano dal cinema contemporaneo europeo e americano, da cui prende principalmente lo sguardo realistico sulla realtà e l’attenzione per le relazioni interpersonali.
