MEMEMTO MORI is one of the more creative and innovative short films that you’ll ever see. Played at our LGBTQ+ Film Festival in January 2021.
Great chat with the filmmaker Derek Elliot Bagley on the process of making this film and moving from Chicago to Montreal while making it.
Film Website: http://mementomori.film/
Summary of Film: At the center of this stylized, allegorical melodrama, a tyrannical matriarch lies helpless and alone on her deathbed. Her family – scattered in different corners of the house – impatiently wait for their unbeloved queen to finally die. The audience becomes a voyeur into this private, claustrophobic world where the Matriarch’s daughters trade biting insults, her maid steals her jewelry, and her grandchildren discuss gay sex while doing drugs. After she takes her last breath, surrounded by kitsch mementos in-lieu of adoring mourners, her family members, and the audience, are confronted with processing the death of someone who’s legacy is questionable.
