Synopsis

In the aftermath of Hurricane Fabian, the Bermuda Government commissioned a memorial to Bermudians “Lost at Sea”. This competition for the island's first public artwork was won by UK-based Bermudian-born sculptor Bill Ming. Andy Mckay’s film is a poetic portrait of the sculptor's early years in a segregated society, as a seaman, the cultural adjustment of coming to England in 1970 and surviving as an artist. The film weaves together his work, emotional and humorous life stories, the making of the 12 ton bronze construction and the defining moments of its meaning to Bermudian people.
The film received a standing ovation at the 10th Bermuda International Film Festival. It was financed by The Government of Bermuda, Arts Council England, Nottinghamshire County Council, The University of Lincoln, INTA Films.

Synopsis

An anecdotal black comedy with a twist. The famous Casanova has returned from the dead. On a mission, as punishment for a lifetime of womanising and heart breaking, infamous lothario Jacques Casanova de Seingalt is forced to wander the earth in different guises and dissuade those supernaturally influenced by his Memoirs from a life such as the one he once so famously led.

Our audience meets Max Zenith an actor who has just given his final performance from the Memoirs of Casanova, Max has left a trail of broken hearts in his wake since the start of the play till it’s end, and cares little for the heartache he has caused, little does he know that a cruel retribution awaits, and that he will be faced with what for him will be the most cruel of choices. In the end our protagonist is forced to decide between having that which has given him the most pleasure in life sex and die, or abstain and live the rest of his life devoid of the pleasures of the flesh. The Casanova Complex is a look at the folly of self-love Casanova draws influence from the classic Greek Myth Echo and Narcissus. A modern day retelling of an ancient myth and a tongue-in-cheek look at narcissistic or one-sided relationships.
