The doubt, the passage through the choices are reflected in the 2026 edition of the festival between cinema and psychology which returns to the Eliseo hall between February and March. “CinemaAnimaMente” – review of six screenings promoted by Mental Health Department of ASL Romagnawith the cooperative Il Mandorlo e il Eliseo cinema – also this year combines the screening with the intervention of psychologists and psychoanalysts who dialogue with the directors and actors of the proposed films. A triangulation between management, healthcare workers and the public which has ensured the success of the event over time. “Areas closer to each other than one might imagine – comments Gianluca Farfaneti, head of the Psychology and Psychopathology service of Forlì-Cesena – cinema condenses stories that are the reflection of what occurs in the experiences of many people”. “A review that promotes the dialogue – states the president of Il Mandolo, Luana Grilli – and allows us to treat lightly the issues we deal with every day”. “This review enhances our social value” echoes Francesca Piraccini, administrator of the Elysée. Daniele Gualdi, together with the film critic Maurizio Di Rienzo, deserves credit for the choices on the six films and the involvement of directors and actors.
