Description of Program

ReelAbilities: NY Disabilities Film Festival is the largest festival in the country dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories and artistic expressions of people with different disabilities. Initiated at JCC Manhattan in 2007, the festival presents award-winning films by and about people with disabilities in multiple locations throughout each hosting city. Post-screening discussions and other engaging programs bring together the community to explore, discuss, embrace, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experience. In 2014, JCC Manhattan collaborated with the Cincinnati-based agency Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled (LADD, Inc.), to operate the National program of the film festival, bringing the festival to communities throughout the U.S.

PLEASE NOTE: Films accepted for ReelAbilities: New York will be made available to the ReelAbilities National program, allowing partner cities throughout the US and Canada to select those films for their festivals.
