rendezvous-with-madness

The Guardian gave it a 4-star review, praising it as “profound”.

“Alopecia can be (and is) a wonderful thing, if you choose it to be.”

These overt re-enactments give visibility to the often invisible weight of anxiety and depression and challenge societal norms of what is considered “appropriate” emotional expression.

Daring programming and a mission to fight stigma: we’re big fans of this innovative arts festival, which has been breaking boundaries for over twenty-five years.

We caught up with filmmaker Saba Akhtar (A Mount of Sand) to find out what compelled her to make the film she’ll be sharing and what conversations she hopes it initiates. 

Rendezvous With Madness Festival is moving the conversation forward with objectives to help heal, combat stigma, and provoke tough conversations, be it with loved ones or the city at large.
