Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival

The Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival, led by the Mental Health Foundation, is one of Scotland’s most diverse cultural events, covering everything from music, film and visual art to theatre, dance, and literature. The festival takes place across Scotland, aiming to support the arts and challenge preconceived ideas about mental health.

Celebrating its tenth year in 2016, the festival opens on World Mental Health Day with 50% More Likely to Die, a special show from comedian Felicity Ward. SMHAFF’s annual International Film Competition awards ceremony takes place at CCA for the first time - winning films from over 1500 submissions and special presentations will be showcased throughout the week. Prepare to be engaged, entertained and moved.
