Astu – so be it
(123 min Marathi with English subtitles followed by a
discussion)
Astu is a gentle, seemingly simple film that captures an
old man in decline – degenerating physically and losing
control of his mental faculties as well. It's about his grad-
ual fading away. It also captures the dilemmas of the
family that is losing someone dear, bit by bit, minute by
minute, to dementia.

Art of storytelling: The human experience of being a
psychiatrist
(75 min followed by a discussion)
The purpose of this film was to achieve a better under-
standing of who we are as psychiatrists right now. A
committee of six psychiatrists took oral histories from
twelve other psychiatrists spanning three generations.
The stories are artfully woven together to create a cohe-
sive narrative. What emerges is unexpected and incred-
ibly moving. The stories are deeply personal and high-
light the differences and similarities we share as people
in doing the work we do.
This documentary was produced by Mindi Thelen for
the Southern California Psychiatric Society.

We are here! / Wir sind hier!
(45 min subtitled in English followed by a discussion)
A film about children of mentally ill parents, for chil-
dren, adolescents and adults. When a mother or a father
breaks a leg, a family talks about it. But when a parent
becomes mentally ill, it is often hidden. However, it is
good for children to be taken seriously with their feel-
ings and problems, because it is not only difficult for the
parents but also for the children. How difficult the situ-
ations are for children, and that they also may urgently
need help, is not a topic known to many people.
