The Rendez Vous With Madness Film Festival is now in its 15^th year. The short films and feature films shown from November 8 – 17 are much more than mere entertainment. These are ground breaking films that provide valuable information and dispel myths and misconceptions about mental illness and addictions – 2 subjects that we avoid at all costs and about which we are seriously misinformed. However, there is nary a family who has been untouched by mental illness and/or addiction.

Education and information are the first steps to understanding those among us who are suffering. Each program at the festival touches on a different theme and offers post film thought provoking panel discussions with professionals and/or people who have first hand experience with mental illness or addictions.

The Festival will be taking place at the Workman Theatre located at
1001 Queen St West.
