The Mental Health Film Festival Short Film Youth Competition is back for its fourth year! By harnessing this powerful medium, we want to continue creating more avenues for our youth filmmakers to advocate for mental health/dementia issues.

Mental Health Film Festival Singapore Limited (MHFFS) is a Singapore-based charity and registered non-profit organisation.

MHFFS's vision is to provide an inclusive and safe platform for stories about recovery and resilience.
