Online Film Festival

We are very pleased to share with you the Mental Health and Social Power short film fest 19-25 April 2021.

As part of the conference, we have curated a film package with films that highlight and portray issues regarding mental health. The selected films amplify the voices of mental health survivors, challenge the stereotypes and share stories of mitigation.

The selected films are made by, or in close collaboration with, people with lived experiences.

 

Trigger warnings for each film will be available under the description on YouTube.
