My Cinema Clinic: Menopause
OUR EVENT
My Cinema Clinic is an innovative event cinema brand, presenting thought-provoking documentaries paired with live expert panels to cinemas around the UK, bringing cutting edge research and growing support networks to local communities.
Our first event, My Cinema Clinic: Menopause brings audiences a 60-minute myth-busting cinematic documentary, providing the very latest scientific and holistic research on the perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause phases of life.
Giving a voice to under-represented communities and co-directed by BAFTA award-winning director Lily Murray and Isabelle Fauchet Kawamura, the film will be followed by a live 60-minute Q&A panel event at each cinema with expert medical advice, support networks.
Our aim is to offer a wide spectrum of audiences the most recent international research and information from leading experts on what is available to help them thrive and empower them to make their own choices.
IN CINEMAS AROUND THE UK

About Us
Using the power of cinema to build community support to local audiences
There are over 13 million women in perimenopause and menopause in the UK and only a few menopause clinics, with minimal NHS provision to address the needs of women who are going through this phase of life.
Open to everyone, the film will tell stories from around the world including from underrepresented and underprivileged communities with no access to menopausal services or for whom the subject may still be taboo. It will offer a varied, balanced and intergenerational view of the full spectrum of the menopausal experience from perimenopause to post-menopause and ranging from severe mental illness to fulfilling rebirth.
After the film, each venue will host a live menopause panel with relevant experts, medical and mental health professionals and charity and support group representatives so that you can build a community of support where you live.
Come and share your unique menopause story and build a community where you live. Be part of a movement to destigmatise the menopause.
In cinemas World Menopause Day from Sunday 18th October 2026 and International Women's Day from 8th March 2027.
