The Strong Mind Showcase is more than just a film festival—it’s a mission to ignite conversation around mental health. Held at The Lindsay Theater on October 20th, this event will bring together artists, mental health professionals, and everyday people from around the world to shine a light on the unseen struggles so many face.

The 32 finalists were selected out of more than 2,000 submissions from 106 countries, all exploring the theme of “making the invisible, visible.” Through vulnerable stories, visceral creativity, and thought-provoking visuals, these films invite audiences to reflect on mental health challenges with insight and empathy.

Before the film screenings, the evening will feature a panel discussion, where artists and mental health professionals will come together in conversation to share unique insights. This conversation sets the stage for a night of cinema that doesn’t just entertain—it connects. Whether you’ve experienced these struggles firsthand or are looking to deepen your understanding, the Strong Mind Showcase is a powerful reminder that through art, conversation, and storytelling, we can foster a more compassionate world.

Join us for an evening that promises to be both moving and transformative as we work together to make the invisible visible.
