Now in its 6th year, Stella’s Place Get Reel Film Festival 2025 explores the theme of “Masks,” delving into the realities of mental health challenges and the often hidden struggles many face.
Returning to the TIFF Lightbox Theatre, this annual festival harnesses the power of film to spark conversations about youth mental health.
Join us for a thought-provoking cinematic experience that challenges perceptions and fosters a better understanding of the mental health issues facing today’s youth through art and film.
For one special night, Monday, May 12, 2025, at TIFF Lightbox we will highlight young filmmakers as they “unmask’ the face of the mental health crisis our young people are facing. The adjudicated films will be shown and followed by an expert panel Q&A hosted by Stella’s Place.

TICKETS WILL OPEN ON APRIL 15, 2025
Seats are limited and will include access to the Post-Film Q&A and Stella’s Place after-party reception at TIFF Lightbox.
“Anytime I get to create something I feel exceptionally fortunate — but getting to make work with the support of a meaningful organization, like Stella’s Place, makes it that much better. As a former participant at Stella’s Place — this project felt like a full circle moment”
– Spencer Glassman, Get Reel Scholarship Filmmaker

“Community Matters. We need to make spaces for young folks to be heard, seen, honoured, empowered, cheered on, highlighted and listened to.”
