Wir richten in diesem Jahr vom 18. - 20. Mai die dritte Ausgabe des Go Mental! International Short Film Festival erneut im ACUDkino und online über die Plattform Movies Everywhere aus. Im Anschluss sind alle Kurzfilme noch vom 21. bis einschließlich 31. Mai online über Movies Everywhere verfügbar.
Wir sind das erste Filmfestival in Deutschland, welches das Thema seelische Gesundheit in den Mittelpunkt rückt.
Unser Ziel ist es, internationale Kurzfilme zu fördern, die authentisch und entgegen typischer Klischees die verschiedenen Facetten von seelischer Gesundheit cineastisch abbilden.
