PREMIERE DOCUMENTARY SCREENING: 
FEED YOUR HEAD
Presented by the International Schizophrenia Foundation
Directed by Connie Littlefield of Conceptafilm
Sunday, November 8, 2009
at 7:00 pm
Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival
Feed Your Head takes the viewer on a bio-chemical journey from a deserted mental hospital in Weyburn, Saskatchewan through the nutritional wasteland of Western Civilization.
Abram Hoffer and Humphry Osmond met in the middle of nowhere, on the Canadian Prairie, but these idealistic doctors revolutionized the field of mental health on a global scale. They're gone now, but their legacy lives on. Their radical ideas about a bio-chemical cause of schizophrenia were widely ridiculed in their day. The conclusions they reached are gaining acceptance now, and they have implications for us all.
Feed Your Head brings the past alive in the present day; blending archival images with vibrant contemporary footage to tell the story of a timeless concept: we are what we eat. The future of medicine lays at the convergence of science and hope.
Featuring interviews with orthomolecular practitioners and patients. Music by Anton Kuerti and the Blue Engine String Quartet.
Tickets: $10 at the door. The ISF has a limited number of $5 tickets available directly from them.
For tickets, please call International Schizophrenia Foundation at 416-733-2117 or email.
The premiere will include a 15 minute documentary Masks of Madness: The Science of Healing followed by the screening of Feed Your Head. A panel discussion will follow. The film’s Director, Connie Littlefield of Conceptafilm, will be in attendance at the screening.
