Short Film Social Watch Party:
Sticks, Stones & Words
Good mental health isn’t just the absence of absence of mental illness, but it also refers to a state of wellbeing where you feel good and able to think, feel and function well in the world.
As part of *SCAPE Short Film Social Watch Party, screening Singaporean short films made by youth, we bring you the new Mental Health Edition: Sticks, Stones and Words. We zoom in to the distress of bullying, by screening two films, Left Unsaid and Overcast.
On the panel, we will be featuring Zheng Jia Hui, director of Overcast and Timothy Ong, director of Left Unsaid. We will also be featuring Cheryl Tan, from Singapore Mental Health Film Festival (SMHFF) as a moderator.
Enjoy an evening of films that portray mental health issues and chat with the directors on topics that we normally shy away from. Hear them as they discuss the importance of mental health, and the various types of filmmaking in Singapore.
