The Arc Pikes Peak Region invites the community to enjoy a collection of short films celebrating the achievements of people with I/DD.
Virtual Film Festival goers will watch the collection of short films at their own leisure, from Monday, March 22 – Friday, March 26, and will enjoy a virtual afterparty on Friday, March 26, 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., featuring prize giveaways and a panel discussion with local filmmakers and advocates.
This year’s powerful short films invite the community to keep on believin' in a bright future, as films like "The Interviewer" challenge prevalent stereotypes about hiring employees with I/DD, and "Wheelz Fotheringham" highlights the humor and risk-taking mentality of an athlete who is un-bound by his wheelchair. Additionally, the film festival will feature films by local filmmakers, including “Twice Exceptional,” and “Lonely Highway.”
After registering, virtual film festival participants will receive login information for the virtual film festival and virtual afterparty. Please note that the login information to view the films will be sent the week prior to the film festival.
