NIMIC by Yorgos Lanthimos to Screen at Raindance Opening Gala

NIMIC is a new short film project from Yorgos Lanthimos produced by Rekorder in cooperation with Superprime Films, Merman London and creative agency Droga5 starring Matt Dillon and Daphne Patakia.

The twelve minute short film tells the story of a professional cellist and an encounter he has on the subway which has unexpected and far-reaching ramification on his life. Living firmly in Lanthimos’ unique cinematic universe, the film asks questions about identity, perception, relationships and circularity.

Yorgos Lanthimos says of the film: “I was glad to be given the opportunity to work on a shorter format that can be sometimes challenging but quite rewarding. We developed a script starting from a very intriguing initial idea and concept, and enjoyed great creative freedom during the realisation of the film. It is always very exciting to be invited to think outside the box and wrestle with stimulating ideas.”

Be sure to check the premier if you are in London today: it starts at 6 pm!
