Mijn woord tegen het mijne (My Word Against Mine) — a documentary directed by Maasja Ooms and winner of the Best Dutch Film Award, IDFA 2025 — follows five people who hear voices.
After its screenings during the Movies That Matter Festival, the Grey Space transforms into a communal conversation where, over the course of two hours, a moderator guides the dialogue between mental health professionals, voice hearers, their families, and the audience.
The conversation intends to explore new ways of understanding voices: when we listen carefully, what can they tell us? Are they less unfamiliar than we think? How can we support voice hearers so that they feel heard and have agency in their care?

The panel discussion will be held in Dutch
