Three compelling and entertaining evenings of film and discussion celebrating disability and diversity.
Reaching out to both new and traditional audiences, each forum combines the screening of a treasure trove of international, award-winning films celebrating disability and diversity, with lively, thought-provoking and at times provocative Q and A’s with filmmakers, plus a post-show reception where film-makers and audiences can meet mingle and chat.
Bold, beautiful, hard-hitting, and moving feature films, documentaries and shorts will provide the back-drop for entertaining and empowering evenings of film, discussion and fun.
A fully accessible venue, open captioned/sub-titled films, ASL Interpretation, Real-time Captioning and on-site attendant services will help ensure full participation and enjoyment by Film Forum audiences.
