"The Dark Side of the Mind" is a science fiction/drama short film by Giacomo Mantovani. It was created in July 2012 and entered into the Virgin Media Shorts competition. The film uses a variety of differing genre styles to demonstrate the internal conflicts of the human race. It centres on two characters, Duncan and Gunda, who, through unexplained means, have concocted a piece of technology capable of wiping out the entire human race. How they created the weapon is not the focus of this film; instead it examines the ever-present duality of humankind. Computer generated imagery begins and ends the film.
