My Cinema Clinic: The Menopause

One of the most exciting projects we have been involved with is My Cinema Clinic: The Menopause, which is a documentary that will soon be released https://www.mycinemaclinic.com/ with our board member Lily Murray who is a professional documentary film-maker.

While the final footage of the documentary is not yet available you can see clips of our some of members been interviewed and we had a specific interview and walking session on the beach as one of our Menopause and Mind sessions.

As part of this collaboration, Menopause and Mind hosted a dedicated filmed session, including a seafront walk and open workshop. This created a supportive environment where participants could choose how to engage, through one-to-one interviews or by contributing their voices in a more informal group setting.

This approach was particularly important in ensuring accessibility and consent, allowing individuals to share their experiences in ways that felt safe and appropriate to them. Participants from our community were interviewed for the documentary, helping to amplify lived experiences of menopause that are often underrepresented. The project extends the impact of our work beyond direct participants, contributing to wider public awareness and dialogue around menopause and mental health.

We will keep you posted as it develops, but if you are interested in contributing please see https://www.mycinemaclinic.com/ who are still looking for contributors.
