ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival (RWM) is produced by Workman Arts. Workman Arts facilitates aspiring, emerging and established artists with mental illness and addiction issues to develop and refine their art form through its arts training programs, public performances/exhibit opportunities and partnering with other art organizations. As well, Workman Arts promotes a greater understanding of mental illness and addiction through the creation, presentation and discussion of artistic media.

The Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival explores cinematic representations of mental health and addiction. Film and video programs are followed by post?screening panel discussions with people who receive mental health and addiction services, as well as writers, directors, actors, health care professionals and academics.

RWM continues to revel in the mysteries of the mind, exploring the facts and mythologies surrounding mental illness and addiction. This year, using a mix of video conferencing, and live participation; filmmakers, people with lived mental health experiences and mental health experts will participate in screenings and discussion panels in order to bring together disparate voices from around the world.
