LIAF 2025: Are You OK?

Animated shorts are a powerful medium for addressing mental health issues, offering a unique and often visually compelling way to explore complex emotions and inner struggles. These films vividly depict experiences like anxiety, depression, trauma and personal growth, often capturing the nuance of these conditions in ways that words alone cannot. By destigmatising mental health struggles the films also serve as a valuable tool for raising awareness, fostering conversations and promoting understanding about emotional well-being. And apart from anything else - they will make you laugh and make you cry!

Several of the filmmakers will be in attendance after the screening to talk about these astounding and heart-felt films. Panellists to be announced in November.
