Paranoia, Delusion, and Recovery in Film

Rich Text

We all need help sometimes. 

But when someone is suffering through a mental health crisis, it can be difficult to know where to go for help and even to understand what’s wrong in the first place. Add in the lingering stigma around discussing mental health, and you’ve got a set of conditions that leaves people feeling overwhelmed and isolated at their lowest. 

This April, we’re proud to present Down the Rabbit Hole: Paranoia, Delusion, and Recovery in Film, a six film series featuring talkbacks with local mental health professionals. These films explore a range of mental health struggles, from disorders like hoarding and schizophrenia to the ways cults and self-help gurus prey on people in crisis. They’re a mix of dramas, comedies, thrillers, and one iconic documentary, united by their depiction of people at their most vulnerable. They offer an intimate, human lens on scenarios we often turn away from out of discomfort and fear.

In presenting these stories and facilitating conversation with mental health providers, we want to help move past the hushed tones we use to discuss these topics. We’re all affected by mental disorders, directly or indirectly, and developing the ability to discuss them without judgement helps us grow stronger as a community. 

By seeing these stories unfold on screen — and talking about them together — we can replace stigma with empathy, fear with understanding, and silence with support.

  • A Woman Under the Influence, April 13th
