Inside the Mind of Leonardo operates as a traditional historical documentary focused on educational visualization. It prioritizes preserving a specific Western intellectual legacy rather than deconstructing social hierarchies. The film sticks closely to the historical context of the Renaissance, mirroring the demographic and gendered expectations of that era, particularly highlighting male intellectual dominance. Since the project aims to recreate the mindscape of a single polymath, it lacks the breadth needed to address multiple layers of identity or diverse cultural perspectives.

Official Synopsis
Inside The Mind of Leonardo is based on the artist’s private journals dating from the Italian Renaissance. With over 6,000 pages of handwritten notes and drawings, da Vinci’s private journals are the most comprehensive documents that chronicle the work of the world’s most renowned inventor, philosopher, painter and genius. Using this precious collection of writings and drawings to recount Da Vinci’s story in his own words, and combining them with stunning visual effects and 3D technology, we re-create the mindscape and ideas of mankind’s greatest polymath.
