Call for entries for the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival, October 2007

Glasgow is set to host the first Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film festival, in celebration of World Mental Health Day. With one in four people experiencing a mental health trouble at some point in their life, it's a ripe area for exploration, as the DFG's Andy Glyne demonstrated a few years back with a similar themed festival at the ICA, which he currated.

The festival aims to explore meaning and myth in relation to mental health, Scotland's history of asylum and the history of rights, through to current concepts of recovery and well-being.

Over 30 events will be held across the city and beyond, including:

Documentaries
Movies
Drama
Music
Visual Arts
Testimony
Debate and Research
Creative and Media Workshops

The festival will take place over two weeks: 4th to 18th October 2007.

Part of the festival will involve an open call for film submissions from across Scotland, the UK, and even internationally. If you are an individual or group interested in filmmaking and mental health, visit the website at www.seemescotland.org for more information on how to submit your film for consideration.

Full programme details can be found by visiting www.mhfestival.com.
