John Kastner’s Out of Mind, Out of Sight is the follow-up to the Toronto filmmaker’s acclaimed 2013 NFB-co-produced documentary NCR: Not Criminally Responsible. In his new film, Kastner intermingles the powerful stories of four patients declared not criminally responsible (or “NCR”) for violent crimes due to mental illness, following an unprecedented 18 months of filming inside the Brockville Mental Health Centre.
