為引起大眾對心理健康的關注，澳門大學滿珍紀念書院師生創作微電影《白夜》，並於各中學進行巡迴放映及座談會，首場於利瑪竇中學舉行，吸引了近六百師生參加。
微電影獲利瑪竇中學師生廣泛好評。在座談會上，微電影製作團隊的監製、導演、編劇、演員和書院社工與師生互動，並分享一些心理健康議題的知識，例如情緒壓抑、壓力症狀和處理、童年陰影等，引發深思。有學生表示，在是次活動中學會接納自我、怎樣面對生活的挫折、面對巨大壓力時應尋求信任的人協助，以及不應壓抑負面情緒。
微電影《白夜》是一部關於自我接納、擁抱自我光明面與陰暗面、與內在自我連結的電影，內容講述活潑上進的大一女主角遇到心事重重的室友，女主角嘗試開解室友，卻無法讓她走出困苦；經歷種種之後，她最終發現了真相。
微電影的拍攝靈感源於澳大人文學院葡文系教授姚京明的詩作《白夜》，劇本由澳門導演余志雲和澳大人文學院葡文系二年級、滿珍紀念書院的王楚月聯合編寫，主角和大部分幕後工作人員均由滿珍紀念書院成員擔任。

UM students and faculty produce was invited to host short film screening at Colégio Mateus Ricci, to promoting raise mental health awareness to secondary students
Students and faculty from Moon Chun Memorial College (MCMC) of the University of Macau (UM) have produced a short film titled The Invisible Self to raise public awareness about mental health. Film screenings and post-screening sharing sessions are being held in several local secondary schools, the first of which was held at Colégio Mateus Ricci and attracted the participation of nearly 600 students and teachers.
The film was well received by the students and teachers at Colégio Mateus Ricci. During the post-screening sharing session, the producer, director, screenwriter, and actors of the film, as well as social workers of MCMC engaged in interactions with the audience and shared some knowledge on mental health issues such as emotional suppression, symptoms and management of stress, and childhood trauma. Some students said that the film enabled them to learn about self-acceptance, how to cope with setbacks in life, how to seek help from people they trust when facing great pressure, and not to suppress negative emotions.
The Invisible Self is a short film about self-acceptance, embracing both the positive and negative aspects of oneself, and establishing a connection with one’s inner self. The film tells the story of an outgoing and ambitious first-year student who encounters a deeply troubled roommate. She tries to uplift her roommate but struggles to help her break free from her inner turmoil. Through a series of incidents, she ultimately uncovers the truth behind her roommate’s struggles.
The inspiration for the film came from the Chinese poem ‘White Night’ written by Yao Jingming, professor in the Department of Portuguese of UM’s Faculty of Arts and Humanities. The script was co-written by Macao director Steven U and Celina Wang, a second-year student in UM’s Department of Portuguese and MCMC. The main characters and most of the crew members in the film were members of MCMC.
