These films show what an incredible artist, activist and human being he was and how his dementia diagnosis did not define or limit him. Both films are directed by BAFTA-winning director Ian Bustard. The films are being toured throughout Scotland throughout November - January. Demented Cinema Demented Cinema will feature two new films and an after-show discussion.

The Demented Poets is a documentary about a filmmaker who embarks on a personal journey after discovering that his father has dementia. He meets Ron Coleman, who proudly calls himself "The Demented Poet," and uses creativity to express and challenge how he lives with his condition. Ron introduces us to other dementia activists/artists in Scotland as they put on Scotland's first Dementia Arts Festival. We see how people living with dementia can produce meaningful art and how this helps with the illness. The film is a moving personal story about family, creativity, connection, love and humanity
Caught in this moment in time (Short film) - A writer with dementia has writer's block. His only companion is the AI system Alexa, who looks after him. Ron Colman plays himself in this powerful film exploring creativity, self-care care and mortality, shot on the Isle of Lewis.
