Cinema or Stigma? Rethinking mental disorders in film | Eileen Feng | TEDxYuehai St Salon
Movies crystallize culture. When we step into theaters, they become windows to diverse worlds and stories. But when a character with mental illness appears on screen, how are they portrayed? As dangerous? Fragile? Or helpless? Cinema is more than entertainment—it shapes our worldview and influences how we perceive others.Are depictions of mental health in film trapped in tired tropes that fuel stereotypes? Movies are not just storytelling; they can mislead or enlighten, stigmatize or heal. Every frame holds the power to distort—or dissolve—the fog of misunderstanding. “荟”艺术馆策展人 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
