About this event

Join us for a Zoom Q&A with the filmmakers at 2pm on Saturday 8 May.

What is normality? By turns experimental, surreal, and uncanny, these diverse international short films how mental ill health and the factors that contribute to it can become normalised in society.

This selection includes the stories of an Iranian queer filmmaker with a unique place in cinematic history speaking out about childhood sexual abuse, a telephone counsellor with decades of experience supporting callers contemplating suicide, and a young woman who has to face up to a legacy of emotional abuse on a visit to her mother.

Tickets are available on a Pay What You Can basis (FREE, £2, £4 or £6) or as part of the SMHAF 2021 Festival Pass (£15 or £10).

Organiser of Normality? II: Zoom Discussion

The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF) returns for its 15th year from 3rd to 23rd May 2021, exploring the theme of ‘Normality?’ with a wide ranging programme of online and outdoor events.

SMHAF is one of Scotland’s biggest, most diverse festivals. Its unique approach – programmed from the grassroots up by a team of regional co-ordinators all across the country, in combination with a film and performance programme curated by the Mental Health Foundation – ensures it connects with audiences that other arts festivals often struggle to reach. 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.
