How It Works

Have you ever watched a film and felt deeply understood? Sometimes, when we see a movie, we encounter a conflict that we are dealing with in our day-to-day lives. It is often then that we are touched by the story and find consolation. So in a way, films can be like medicine for the mind.

And if films are like medicine, then think of "First Aid Films" as the pharmacy. The blog recommends films that may help you deal with the emotional problems you encounter.

It covers the topics Love & Relationships, Work & Career, Sex & Intimacy, Coming Of Age, Mental Health, Loss and Existence. In addition to the film recommendations, there are also interviews with different people about films that mean a lot to them.

Each film comes with a difficulty rating, which doesn’t refer to the complexity of a story, but rather to how entertaining it is. Some films are easier and others are more challenging to watch, but keep in mind: Even if some films require your patience, in the end, they might be worthwhile.
