How we work
Since 2011, the DisABILITY film festival has been engaging in stimulating discussion around the existing imaging of people with disabilities. To this end, the festival’s organisers cooperate with disability organisations that engage themselves for people with disabilities daily. Our ultimate dream is to create a shift in mentality in the cultural sector especially, and in society on a broader level.
