Mental Health Film Festival Singapore 2024

Mental Health Film Festival Singapore 2024 (MHFFS 2024), the fifth edition of this annual event promoting mental health awareness, will take place from 7 – 10 November 2024 at Suntec City.

Themed “Building Bridges to Mental Well-Being,” this year’s event focuses on exploring the complex ecosystem surrounding individuals navigating mental and physical health challenges, along with their caregivers. It will delve into the perspectives of those who support or witness their loved ones as they confront and live with these challenges.

The festival will feature six films that offer diverse perspectives on mental health from international filmmakers, accompanied by after-show panel discussions at GV Suntec. Additionally, there will be a showcase of short films by local students and a mental health exhibition in the Suntec City Atrium between Towers 3 and 4.
