The South African Recovery Film Festival 2015.
24 Sep, 2015 - 27 Sep, 2015
Focussing on documentary films that explore the themes of addiction and mental health issues, the South African Recovery Film Festival will be hosted in both Cape Town and Johannesburg again during International Recovery Month in September.
Now in its third year, the Festival has partnered with SACAP (The South African College of Applied Psychology) and aims to educate, entertain, inform and to promote the solutions and successes of Recovery.
The Festival is running from 24th to 27th September at the Labia in Cape Town and The Bioscope in Johannesburg. With the focus on Recovery internationally during the month of September, the Festival hopes to lift some of the stigma that surrounds addiction, alcoholism and mental health issues. Shame and ignorance often drive these conditions making access to help difficult.
Watch the trailers on the website, and don’t miss the opening night (September 24th): A Royal Hangover, a film about the ambivalent alcohol culture of Britain. Think Bowling For Columbine, only with alcohol instead of guns. The screening of the documentary will be followed by a panel discussion, looking at the South African context and issues.
