Silver Linings Playbook – 9 October
For the Love of Nancy – 10 October
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – 11 October

Introducing each film will be someone who has been affected by issues depicted in the film.

Russell Hogarth who has organised the festival said: “The films are chosen for their portrayal of a particular theme or mental health condition and will be introduced by a mental health service user or carer with relevant experience and insight, framing your viewing of each film in a meaningful, real-world context. This is a wonderful opportunity to share and explore your own ideas and insights as well as learning from others.”

The UCLan has laid on a further cinematic treat for the rest of October.
