Note on the pandemic of Coronavirus:
In the middle of this virus that we all face, we Festival Mental want you all to know that regardless of the coronavirus situation, all your movies will be watched and considered. Our Festival is still on track as it happens later in the year, but, even if this changes, any movies that have been submitted so far and all the ones to come will be assessed and screened, if selected, in the postponed edition or in next year’s edition. So please, do not stop submitting your movies to the festival or think that the ones which have been submitted will not be watched. All of them will be watched by the jury and will have a chance to be in the 5th edition of Festival Mental, be it in the settled date, a postponed one, or next year!
We are sending you all good energy and hope you are taking care of yourselves, physically and mentally and are looking forward to seeing all of your movies, in such time when mental health is increasingly important to talk about.
Stay safe, stay healthy.
