This year, Reel Mind turns its focus to dementia through three films and conversations that explore memory, caregiving, and the shifting sense of self that comes with cognitive change.
These are experiences often lived quietly, the program brings them into a shared space for reflection and dialogue.

FACING THE WIND - US 2024 - 58'
FACING THE WIND follows two women whose lives are upended by their husbands' Lewy body dementia (LBD) diagnosis. After struggling to find information, they launch a podcast that grows into a supportive community. The film explores their journey to find humor, friendship, and strength amidst the hardships of caregiving and loss.
FILM WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A PANEL DISCUSSION. PANELISTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON

HUMAN FOREVER - The Netherlands 2023 – 80’
The film documents a worldwide journey taken by Teun and his friend, filmmaker Jonathan de Jong. Together, they explore how different cultures and countries provide care for people living with dementia, aiming to find ways to make the future more beautiful and inclusive for them.
