Russian Mental Health Film Festival

The first film festival in Russia about mental health and mental illness. We are especially interested in challenging stereotypes, showing different perspectives on mental illness, and informing and enlightening the general public about mental health. The festival is dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness by sharing stories and promoting empathy for those who live with these chronic psychiatric conditions. We define “mental illness” as a broad umbrella that encompasses any psychiatric diagnosis, emotional disorder, addiction, or other disorder of the brain. Our main goal is to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness and to be open to everyone. If you feel you cannot afford the submission fee, please write to RMHfilmfest@gmail.com to request a discount. Our main goal is to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness and to be open to everyone. The most important thing is to have these films seen by an audience for that purpose.
