CONTENT WARNING:

CineMental presents Madsen Minax's groundbreaking documentary Riot Acts: Flaunting Gender Deviance in Music Performance, a transfabulous rockumentary representing the whole lives of transgender and gender variant musicians, through a first-hand perspective of the intersections between gender performance and stage performance, culminating with the notions that identities and bodies are undeniably political, and the trans experience isn't always one of tragedy, but one of creativity and joy. Syster Act will be performing!

A smash hit at festivals everywhere, E.E.Cassidy's award winning film "We Are the Mods" starts the festival off with a bang. Cassidy perfectly captures the mood and feel of neo-Mod Los Angeles complete with motor scooters and vintage ska. Come and see the movie Filmmaker magazine called "an affectionate and good-hearted homage to not only seminal films of the 1960s but also to the heady rush of young artistic discovery familiar to any sensitive ex-high schooler." We Are The Mods is a teen drama using the familiar territory of 'good girl corrupted by the bad' while simultaneously serving as a tribute to 60s cult classics like Blow-Up and the early work of Jean-Luc Godard.

Sadie’s art is her photography. Nico’s art is her life. Together they explore Britain’s 60’s mod culture of music, fashion, drugs and vintage scooters in contemporary Los Angeles. Sadie observes the world through the lens of her 35 mm camera, but everything changes when she meets Nico, the new “mod” girl who was born with Milroy’s disease that causes her to have abnormal swelling in her foot. Nico doesn’t hide her disability, in fact she loves the spotlight. Sadie is drawn into Nico’s thrilling world of aesthetics where Sadie learns about herself and who she really is.
