Serious Mental Illness Short Film Competition Worldwide

Voices With Impact's Serious Mental Illness Short Film Competition is an open call for short films that explore issues related to diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder. These conditions can result in impairments that interfere with a person's life and ability to function.

In 2024 we are shining on a light on serious mental illness. This competition is inspired by the life and legacy of Sidney R. Baer, Jr. and is focused on stories of those living with Serious Mental Illness.

How does it work?

We invite filmmakers to submit short films (5 Minutes or under) on the topic of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and/or bipolar disorder. The winning films will receive a $2000 cash prize and be inducted into our mental health film library for distribution across the US & Canada.

What are we looking for?

​We're looking for short films that explore stories of people living with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and/or bipolar disorder that will spark conversations. The winning films will compassionately portray mental health experiences.

Eligibility?

We accept films up to 5 minutes in in length, of any genre, using Serious Mental Illness as the point of interest. Film topics may either be interpretive of Serious Mental Illness, or address it directly.

We do not place any formal restrictions on submissions, and will consider all genres and types of short films, including submissions utilizing original footage, shared footage, photo stills, music, essays, screenplays, original art work and more. The film must however be your own original work and you must have the correct license for any materials used within the film. There is no fee for submissions.
