The eighth edition of the Mental Festival, which reflects on mental health, begins on May 10th in Lisbon, the organization announced today.
This festival, which takes place with film sessions, theater, workshops, music and debates, has the objective of "reinforcing the need to talk about mental health and illness in the public space".
After several editions addressing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the festival proposes to reflect on mental health in the media and in the music sector, as well as the impact of bureaucracy on people's mental health.
The program, announced today, includes the screening of the film "Listen" (2020), by Ana Rocha de Sousa, about a family entangled in the bureaucracy of British social services because of child custody.
