Diversity Films are pleased to present the first year of Starting Block films at SMHAFF 2011. Starting Block is our core filmmaking training and mentoring programme which provided six filmmaking teams with the opportunity to develop and produce their first short film commission. The Starting Block programme which has toured the country with individual films also screening in the USA and Australia, has been heralded as ‘formidable’, ‘thought-provoking’, ‘brave’, ‘excellent’, ‘fun’, ‘emotional’, ‘giving people an amazing insight into everyday people’s lives’.
Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival and Diversity Films invite you to watch these six intriguing personal films and meet the filmmakers and programme producers to find out more.
