Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film FestivaI, On the Adamant is an affecting, enlightening documentary from nonfiction master Nicolas PhiIibert (To Be and to Have, ln the Land of the Deaf). It invites viewers to come aboard the Adamant and witness the transformational power of art and community. The Adamant is a one-of-a-kind place: a fIoating refuge on the Seine River in the heart of Paris that offers day programs for adults with mentaI illnesses. lts attendees come from across the city and are offered care that grounds them in time and space, helping them achieve recovery and stabiIity. Through a blend of therapy, education, and cuIture rooted in music and the arts, the Adamant offers a hopefuI vision of what a humanistic approach to mental health care couId Iook like. The community on the boat is intentionaIIy created so that both the staff and the people receiving care are treated with the same respect and dignity. Their meetings and conversations reveal the camaraderie and collective humanity of a group of peopIe whose simiIarities far outweigh their differences. |
