Join us for an evening of 5 short films created through Wondering CIC’s collaborative filmmaking project in partnership with WCL Mind during mental health awareness week.
Over 14 weeks, 11 new filmmakers with lived experience of mental health challenges came together to make powerful biographical films exploring resilience, identity, and mental health. This is the first public screening of their work so please come and join us for a celebration of creativity, storytelling, and community. This work was designed to create therapeutic shifts for the participants so come and here their stories!

At Wondering CIC, we believe storytelling, art, and community are essential to addressing the mental health crisis. By placing cameras in the hands of people with lived experience, we empower individuals to own their stories, develop professional skills, and make authentic work that offers an unfiltered insight into the full spectrum of mental health.

About the films and filmmakers
Marcus – 2Deep (6.30min)

Rianna animates lips over recorded footage to play with sound and visuals to illustrate what it means to be understood while living with complex mental health.
Jay – Travelling Light (6 min)
How heavy is your bag? And why do you take it everywhere? Jay navigates safety from the perspective of his loyal bag. Through family trauma and a history of not trusting. Is the bag for safety or escapism?
Iggy – Thoughts in my head (7 min)
A powerful short documentary, Iggy narrates his life from growing up in Uganda to getting sectioned and questions the nature of mental health in the black community.
Aaron – Stay Gold (5 min)
Aaron uses an ancient Japanese technique to illustrate what it means to be broken, what it means to come back together and what does it mean to have a voice and to have that taken away?
