[Tall-Corn] FW: first annual Iowa Disability Film Festival

[April Enderton]

Hi All,
 
Please see info below about the first annual Iowa Disability Film Festival
being held in Iowa City next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  I apologize
for the very late notice, but I had to do a fair amount of advocacy and
education to include audio description.  And a big thanks to Maryfrances
Evans for taking the big suitcase to Iowa City for next Wednesday's film.
Thursday's film includes the built-in audio description track.
 
  Mark your calendars for the first annual Iowa Disability Film Festival!! 
FilmScene, in partnership with ReelAbilities and University of Iowa
Libraries, Therapeutic Recreation, Health and Human Physiology, Center for
Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and Council on Disability
Awareness, is proud to present the first annual Iowa Disability Film
Festival from March 20-22. 
** All films will be shown at FilmScene at the Chauncey, 404 East College
Street, Iowa City, will begin at 6:30, and will include a post- panel
discussion and a reception following the films.** 
 
This festival showcases award-winning films by and about people with
disabilities with engaging programs that bring together communities to
explore, discuss, embrace, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human
experience. For more information about the films and to reserve tickets (all
