Faded Memories
Vito has been undergoing therapy for mental disorders for some time but he continually hears a voice and has visual hallucinations. Realizing the uselessness of drugs, Vito acquires a new self-awareness: he understands what appears crazy to others is nothing more than an integral part of his life or at least of his past.

Valentina Galdi was born in Battipaglia (SA) on 17th, January 1995. She attended the Commercial Technical Institute and completed her studies with top marks. She graduated in Economics and Business Management and then he achieved a 1st Level Master Degree in Marketing Management dealing with the topic of "Cinematographic Marketing" in both final papers.
She took her first steps in Arts in 2015/2016 with the foundation of an independent film production company called "The Gladiator Company".
In the meantime she achieved different courses:
- in scriptwriting with Dominick Tambasco;
- in assistant directing with Gianluca Fabrizio;
- a theatre workshop with Matteo Salsano and Chiara De Vita;
- in techniques of audiovisual representation with Alessandro De Filippo.
She also wrote a screenplay for a professional awarded short film in Italy ("Usura", 2019) and a theatrical monologue for "At The Root Theatre " in Scotland ("Superheroes", 2020).
Her last written and directed short film called "Memorie Sbiadite" (Faded Memories) won many awards at festivals around the world, also collecting awards for directing.
In December 2021 she won the "Il Vince" Award at the 9th Edition of Premio Vincenzo Crocitti International in Rome as newcomer scriptwriter and director.
MEMORIE SBIADITE (FADED MEMORIES) represents a starting point to think about the way of understanding the "voice in mind" phenomenon. The idea was born after reading a discussion on an online forum, in which a concrete case of a woman constantly at the mercy of a voice was analyzed by two strands of thought. The first was related to the common idea to think the voice as a pathology to be treated with the help of drugs and / or specialists. The other was more inclined to conversation with the hypothetical entity to get rid of it in a simple way.
The short film romances them both, showing as a boy under therapy can't get rid of a voice and a vision just with the help of drugs because they probably belong to his (past) life.
It is a different way to see the mental phenomenon...in a different way to make cinema.
