SMHAF (3rd – 23rd May)
Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival
The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF) will return for its 15th year in May, exploring the theme of ‘Normality?’. SMHAF is one of Scotland’s biggest, most diverse festivals, led by the Mental Health Foundation. It aims to explore how the arts and film can help prevent mental ill health, challenge mental health stigma, and encourage participation from people with lived experience. Launching with the International Film Awards – a live-streamed online ceremony followed by a virtual reception – you can watch our entire film programme here from 3rd-23rd May. We will be screening 37 titles in total, including six feature films, all available on a pay what you can basis to audiences across the UK. Selected titles are also available internationally. Every screening will be complemented by a live Zoom Q&A with filmmakers, participants, and mental health professionals, with BSL interpretation and live captioning available. These conversations are a vital part of the festival and support people to talk about the issues raised by the films in a safe and welcoming space. We look forward to seeing you there.
HOW TO WATCH To watch films, you will need to create an account by providing your name, email address and password. All features and shorts programmes will be available for one week period during the festival, from Monday to Sunday.
