Out of Mind, Out of Sight is a 2014 Canadian documentary film by John Kastner focusing on four patients at the Brockville Mental Health Centre. The film concentrates on two floors of the Brockville facility devoted to forensic psychiatry, whose patients have all been found not criminally responsible for crimes including assault and murder. Over 18 months, Kastner filmed 46 of the 59 patients on the floors, as well as 75 staff members. Named best Canadian feature documentary at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, the film was shot at the Centre at the same time as Kastner was shooting his 2013 film, NCR: Not Criminally Responsible, exploring the personal impact of the mental disorder defence in Canada.
Out of Mind, Out of Sight was co-produced by J.S. Kastner Prods. and the National Film Board of Canada in association with TVOntario, and had its world broadcast premiere on TVO on May 7, 2014.
