A Monthly Mental Health Film Series
Wednesday, February 8, 2022 7:00pm
Inspired by a devastating true story, Lily is a recently widowed Chinese immigrant overwhelmed with running the family business on her own and struggling with her new role as a single mother. Her 18-year-old son Edward is being relentlessly bullied at school … and begins to believe that one of the characters in his video game has come to life and is encouraging him to shoot up the school, taking vengeance on all those who wronged him. Post-screening discussion with Dr. Paige Zhang, Moderated by Dr. Harry Karlinsky, cosponsored by the Community Mental Wellness Association of Canada.
Although it’s come and gone, September 2021 marked the beginning of the twentieth year of the Frames of Mind Mental Health Film Series as a monthly event at The Cinematheque. We’re understandably proud of this achievement, and would like to thank our presenting partners, The Cinematheque and the Institute of Mental Health at the UBC Department of Psychiatry, as well as our many speakers and co-sponsors over the years, too many to count here. A big thank you as well to you, our audience, for your continued commitment to attending our events. We wouldn’t be here without you!
