SUMMARY:Strong Mind Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Ninety percent of the public thinks America is having a mental health crisis\, according to the American Psychological Association. \n\n\n\nThis crisis includes anxiety\, depression\, eating disorders and much more\, says Benjamin Carlucci\, an award-winning filmmaker and Creative Director at the Strong Mind Project\, a local mental health awareness nonprofit. On Sunday\, Oct. 20\, from 5:30 to 9 p.m.\, The Lindsay will host the inaugural Strong Mind Showcase. \n\n\n\nThis free event features a pre-screening panel discussion with mental health professionals and advocates. Afterward\, two hours of short films\, separated by an intermission\, aim to promote empathy\, insight and understanding in the mental health space. \n\n\n\n“The Strong Mind Project is dedicated to cultivating conversations and raising awareness in the mental health space\,” says Carlucci\, a Squirrel Hill resident. “Our upcoming showcase will bring together talented artists with mental health professionals and advocates for the theme of ‘making the invisible\, visible.’” \n\n\n\nActivities begin at 5:45 p.m. with a panel discussion featuring Matt Walsh\, Oasis Mental Health’s co-founder and chief clinical officer; Listen Lucy CEO Jordan Corcoran; and artist Hayden Caico\, whose short film\, The Creature and Me\, will screen at the festival. \n\n\n\nFilm selections\, starting at 6:45 p.m.\, will share the best of more than 2\,000 submissions from 106 countries. An awards presentation will follow. \n\n\n\n“We are delighted to bring together so many diverse voices under one event\,” continues Carlucci. “The Strong Mind Showcase is more than just a film festival—it’s a platform for artists to shine a light on mental health challenges\, and for the rest of us to shine a light on the artists sparking crucial conversations through storytelling.” \n\n\n\nTickets are free\, but RSVPs are requested in advance to ensure seating for all. Carlucci advises that these films and conversations are suitable for ages 13 and older.
