Dr Johnny Goodwin hosts new iteration of the adolescent mental health and wellbeing programme, Intinn, during the 66th Cork International Film Festival. ‘Intinn’ is Cork International Film Festival’s film-based mental health and wellbeing programme aimed at adolescents, delivered in partnership with the School of Nursing and Midwifery, UCC, and offered nationwide, for free. Following on from a national rollout in 2020 and evaluation of Intinn in early 2021, the programme was updated, incorporating different short films, focusing on different aspects of mental health and wellbeing. Two short films (‘Hum’ and ‘An Open Door’) were screened live for students in The Gate Cinema, Cork, during the 66th Cork International Film Festival in November 2021, accompanied by recorded Q&A with the filmmakers, and an information session and wellbeing workshop with Dr Johnny Goodwin. The programme was also offered to students nationwide online, enabling students who were unable to make the screenings in person to watch the films in class, with the information session and workshop offered as a pre-recorded webinar, for free. Fiona Clark, CEO of Cork International Film Festival said, “Intinn is one of the Festival’s key strategic activities, and through the powerful and relevant medium of film, this programme provides a unique space for supporting the wellbeing of young people and to positively impact young people’s awareness of mental health. To date, nearly 7,000 young people have engaged with Intinn , demonstrating the value of this creative, innovative, and accessible youth mental health educational resource - and a need that would not otherwise be met. Intinn is one of a range of collaborative programmes between Cork International Film Festival and UCC, the Festival’s Academic Partner, and we are hugely grateful for the expertise that Johnny brings to the project.”
