Au Contraire Film Festival

Through the lens of film, the unique Au Contraire Film Festival strives to achieve awareness of and advocacy for mental health issues.

In the tradition of “now for something completely different”, the Au Contraire Film Festival  will hold a COVID-safe, casual chic cinematic event in a dramatic 20,000 square foot garden setting with an elegant greenhouse pavilion, at the Jardin Royalmount.

This year, more than ever, we all should celebrate mental health.

Come and be inspired by film and on-stage appearances that focus on the universal human condition.
