Living With ADHD – Matteo has ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – which means that he’s very active and very excitable (which can be good), but it also means that he finds it hard to concentrate, forgets things easily and has little sense of danger (which can be bad). Matteo’s Mum wants him to take medication which will help him at school, but his Dad is worried that it will affect his chances of becoming a professional rugby player.
Directed by Lucia Clements and made during the BFI Film Academy’s documentary filmmaking residential course run by our friends at VividEcho.

Connections – Lots of people describe themselves as “spiritual” even if they aren’t religious, but what does that mean? In this beautiful film, six very different people describe how they connect with something beyond themselves – through craft, dance, performance, prayer, writing, helping others, and exploring the natural world. In each case, finding something they love to do has helped them find themselves and given their lives a purpose.

Self Harm Stories – An animation made by a group of young people, each with a story of self harm. With honesty and humour they share some advice and comfort to self harmers and their families.
