Directed and written by accomplished Canadian graphic novelist and animated filmmaker Catherine LePage, The Great Malaise is a beautiful, animated short film that depicts the struggles of a successful woman suffering from anxiety.  This film offers an honest depiction of mental health in a creative and informative way but watch closely! The words and pictures may end up saying different things in this heart touching and beautifully drawn piece. (Written by Robby Haynos ’22)
