Introduction

DisABILITY Film Festival 2025

April 22 to April 26 2025

"Crip Crip Hooray!" The Leuven DisABILITY Film Festival is celebrating its anniversary!

From Tuesday, April 22 to Saturday, April 26, 2025, a new edition of the disABILITY Film Festival will take place. Together we shout loud and proud: "Crip Crip Hooray!" and blow out 15 candles. Over five days, we will focus our lens on people with disabilities and host activities where both people with and without disabilities can come together.

At Bibliotheek Tweebronnen, we will screen seven films and documentaries about people with disabilities. During our short film night at Cinema ZED you will find out which short film will win our jury prize. Plus, you can help decide who will go home with the audience award.

In the mood for a party? Be sure to check out our program.

Theme

"Crip Crip Hooray!"

The 15th edition of the Leuven DisABILITY Film Festival will take place from Tuesday, April 22nd to Saturday, April 26th, 2025. This year, the theme is "Crip Crip Hooray!".

The 15th edition of the DisABILITY Film Festival is themed "Crip Crip Hooray!"

‘Crip' originates from the word ‘cripple’, which was once used as an offensive label for people with disabilities. Today, however, many people with disabilities proudly reclaim the term ‘crip’, embracing it as a symbol that a disability can be something positive and valuable.

Of course, "Crip Crip Hooray!" also refers to the well-know birthday chant "Hip Hip Hip Hooray!". After all, celebrations are meant to be shared, not experienced alone.
