NON COMPOS MENTIS: or Jerry Powell & The Delusions of Grandeur
Mike Cuenca’s second feature chronicles vignettes based around Jerry Powell (Joey Halter), a low-level thief with memory distrust syndrome. On the edges of sanity, Powell finds himself chased by a gang of criminals as he attempts to deliver a mysterious package for a known money-launderer.
Non Compos Mentis screens at 4.30pm

By the Wayside
Jim is a background actor hoping to make it into the big time. His roommate is Sam, a documentary filmmaker. When the two are evicted from their home they meet with Dio, a homeless musician, and a Catholic virgin named Mars. The four descend into a life-awakening 24 hours that involve excess drinking, prostitutes, a sage-like lounge singer and psychedelic drugs.
The ensemble film is a fully improvised comedy shot in a cinema verite style. The film was completed within 7 days without a script, one camera, and no rehearsals with Cuenca building the entire storyline in the editing room after each day’s shoot. Scene outlines and notes were given to the actors involved accordingly.
By the Wayside screens at 6.30pm. It screens again Thurs 8/2 at 6.30pm & Sat 8/4 2.30pm. Free.
