Stepping Through Interactive Film Screening (free)

Join us for an innovative exploration into the intersection of mental health and interactive media at a film screening and workshop presenting different perspectives of recovery.

We will be presenting the documentary Stepping Through Interactive, created by five men with lived experience of mental health problems.

Through the lens of participatory filmmaking and interactive documentary, you’ll be invited to delve into stories of recovery, resilience, and the power of community. You will also have the chance to take part in a creative paper-based storytelling activity, using images and words to convey your own thoughts on the themes of the film.

Come along and discover how documentary and video poetry can be used to explore emotions and feelings associated with recovery and the role that isolation and community play in it.

14.30-15.30 Intro and screening part

15.30-16.00 break, refreshments, and creative activity
