Anxiety Club, Wendy Lobel (U.S.A., 2024)

Anxiety Club captures the experience of anxiety through the eyes of a group of contemporary American comedians and explores their efforts to overcome anguish that they channel through their shows and into their everyday lives. Part therapy, part behind-the-scenes look at stand-up comedy, it's funny, insightful and hopeful.

The film will have its international premiere at the Brain Film Fest. The screening is complemented by the panel Mental Health on Stage: Brave Conversations about Anxiety, together with its director, the psychologist Cristina García Pedrajas and the journalist Roger de Gràcia.

Film will be screened in original version (English).

A film in the 2025 edition of the Brain Film Fest.
