We started Urban Dreams Mental Health Film Festival to provide a platform for filmmakers to reach a wider audience in order to raise awareness, educate and help people to break down the stigma associated with mental health issues. Through engaging and meaningful storytelling, the works presented at the Film Festival aim to inspire positive change, challenge social norms, and ultimately, foster a more supportive and inclusive society for all.
What the audience are saying about the films:
Thought-provoking,
courageous,
empowering,
truth-seeking,
and sometimes raw, just like real life.
The 2024 film festival features a carefully curated selection of films that delve into various aspects of mental health, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and many more. Viewers can expect to see a wide range of genres, including documentaries, narratives, experimental and animation.
