CeCiL's Screenings - Finding Your Voice
Location: Henri Beck Auditorium (entrance: 2, rue Genistre)
Cercle Cité presents a new series of short film screenings exploring a range of social issues through the perspectives of young people.
Featuring three short films by emerging filmmakers, this second screening sensitively explores mental health, identity and family relationships. Through doubt, vulnerability and the search for acceptance, these films portray intimate journeys that resonate with the experiences of many young people today.
By bringing together personal experiences and broader social issues, this screening invites audiences to reflect on the importance of listening, mutual support and the possibility of being truly oneself. A reminder that putting emotions into words is often the first step towards connecting with others.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience, moderated by the association Cultur'Up, extending the conversation on youth well-being, mental health and the power of shared stories.
Free admission, registration required on cerclecite.lu
Ages 16 and up
