[Nfbc-info] November 14th and 15th – Don’t Miss Superfest: International Disability Film Festival

[LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired]

You’ve been waiting all year for this. Tickets are now on sale for Superfest: International Disability Film Festival, hosted by LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State. Ten films over two days bring to the screen a variety of topics and disabilities, each helping move forward Superfest’s mission to celebrate cutting-edge cinema that portrays disability culture in all its diverse, complex and empowering facets.



Superfest has grown this year to cover multiple days and many of the actual filmmakers – from all over the world -- will be present for questions and answers. 2015’s selections showcase innovation, artistry, stunning images and poetic, unique perspectives; they will wow us and take us places we’ve never been. Whether you’re part of the disability community or just love the movies, you won’t want to miss Superfest.



Each event will include a film screening followed by awards and a filmmaker Q&A.
