THE PATRON SAINTS
World Premiere, 2011 Toronto International Film Festival
International Premiere, 2012 International Film Festival Rotterdam
The Patron Saints is a disquieting and hyperrealistic glimpse into life at a nursing home. Bound by the candid confessions of a recently disabled resident, the film weaves haunting images, scenes and stories from within the institution walls. Sidestepping conventional documentary methods for a heightened cinematic approach to storytelling, filmmakers Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky employ lyrical realism and black humour in this charged portrait of fading bodies and minds.
