Perspectives International Film Festival

A film festival dedicated to challenging stereotypes and presenting multiple viewpoints, Perspectives expands our perception of what it means to have a disability and encourages greater understanding and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities.

Now entering its third year, Perspectives explores the lives of people with developmental disabilities through an array of international and domestic narrative documentary and short films. Each screening is followed by a lively and thought-provoking discussion between the filmmaker, a disabilities expert, and the audience. The three-day festival kicks off with an opening night celebration and ends with the presentation of the Perspectives Media Award and closing night festivities.

The ultimate goal of Perspectives is to help create a society in which people with disabilities are seen as unique individuals, welcomed as equal participants in all aspects of community life.
