Overview
My Mind On Film (MMOF) is Malaysia’s first youth mental health short film festival, created to inspire expression, promote understanding, and reduce stigma around mental health in a Malaysian context. It is notable for giving young filmmakers a platform to tell personal and socially relevant stories, and for drawing substantial participation from both local and international youth filmmakers, including hundreds of submissions in recent seasons.[1][3][6]
