Maybe it’s bipolar? film chosen as international film festival finalist

We’re beyond proud to share that our Maybe it’s bipolar? campaign film is a finalist for the Piccadilly Lights Spotlight Prize at the 2026 Big Syn International Film Festival. 

Selected from more than 1,000 entries, spanning 120 countries, the winning films will be shown on Europe’s biggest screen at Piccadilly Circus this November. 

Being shortlisted for the award is an incredible achievement in itself, but with public voting now open, there is an opportunity to take the campaign even further.

Created by Bipolar UK ambassadors Rosie Viva and April Kelley alongside a talented crew with lived experience of bipolar, our film has already helped thousands of people recognise the signs of bipolar and seek support.
