Following a successful premiere at Dendy Cinemas Newtown, Damien Giglietta’s Mercy of Others is set to continue its screening tour with an exclusive screening at Cinema Nova in Melbourne at 6.30pm on Wednesday, August 7.

This special event, organised by Six Placed Pictures and 88to1 Productions, promises an unforgettable experience while supporting Bully Zero – a leading for-purpose organisation dedicated to tackling bullying through education, support, and advocacy. Bully Zero works tirelessly to create safe environments for individuals affected by bullying and strive to prevent bullying through community education and awareness programs.

Mercy of Others delves into the harrowing consequences of bullying, making its association with Bully Zero a poignant and powerful alliance. 

The film follows six friends who come together to seek solace after the murder of someone close to them. Their reunion, however, spirals into a night of psychological terror, unravelling the far-reaching and inescapable consequences of their past actions.
