The Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival’s annual open film submission gives filmmakers from all over the world a platform to challenge perceptions of mental health, share their ideas with new audiences and explore the realities of mental health through film.
This year, the film submission returned for its eighth year and saw a diverse range of submissions from as far afield as Australia, Canada, Iran, Thailand and the US as well as from Continental Europe and the nations of the UK.
Four seperate programmes reveal the considerable stylistic and thematic variety of the very best of these films which showcase everyday struggles with mental health.
