The film Diaplous – Tales of Hope will take part in the Mental Health Rights Film Festival, which will take place on 25 and 26 February 2022 in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.
The Mental Health Rights Film Festival, sponsored by the Lisbon Institute of Global Mental Health, is an international short film festival focusing on mental health films. It aims to raise public awareness for the rights of people with mental disorders and to fight the stigma often associated with mental illness, while hoping to open the way for a society based on mutual understanding and inclusion.
This initiative is a continuation of the first Mind Rights Film Festival, which took place in 2014, with great success, at the Gulbenkian Foundation, in Lisbon. This year it takes place in the same city, as part of the MH Rights Project.
The screenings during the two-day program will end with the Award Ceremony on February 26, 2022, which will not only be a celebration of the creativity of filmmakers, but also a recognition of their exceptional commitment to human rights issues.
The jury, which includes representatives from the fields of cinema, mental health, human rights and the public, will present the MHRFF Awards to the most important works related to the themes of the Festival.
Our film is screened on 26-2-2021
