11th edition: Yes we cam!
3-8 May 2021
Tickets are free, reservation required
Introduction
DisABILITY Film Festival
The 11th edition of the DisABILITY Filmfestival will take place from the 3rd to the 8th of May. Considering the current situation, the festival is going partly online, giving the possibility to the wider audience to participate in our events.
We are very excited to introduce you to our new slogan: „Yes, we cam“, which, we believe, will empower people to fight for their dreams. It is easy to underestimate someone who does not look or behave according to what are considered the norms of our society. This year‘s movie selection introduces powerful people who try to overcome every obstacle in order to achieve their goals. Even though they might lack certain knowledge or capabilities, they are determined to battle all the stereotypes and simply do what they love, or what they believe in.
We are striving for equality and for everyone having the chance to show their passion. People that are believed to be weaker have to fight not only with themselves, but also with all these stereotypes surrounding their capabilities. That does not only show their strength, but also proves that they are stronger than most of the people that don’t even have to face similar problems. This year’s edition is exactly about that, about abilities and capabilities.
We invite you to celebrate our 11th birthday with us by attending film screenings and lectures!
