Films exploring Place & Self, an examination of identity.


This Mental Health Shorts collection is made up of incredible films submitted to VWI by filmmakers from all over the world.

Programmed and selected by Voices With Impact.

Float Away is a poetic music video supporting CMHA, blending haunting visuals and stop-motion to explore anxiety, depression, and healing. A mole-like creature trapped in darkness finds the courage to rise, showing how small steps can lead to hope.


Directed by Doug Cook.
