We invite you to experience film and video related to the field of developmental disabilities.
People with developmental disabilities as subjects and performers remain marginalized in the media.
By presenting films of artistry and intellect, the festival hopes to reinforce accurate portrayals of people with developmental disabilities and expose the public to important issues facing people with developmental disabilities. The goal is an enjoyable and enlightening experience that will help breakdown stereotypes, promoting a greater acceptance of differences and awareness of similarities.
The 2008 Sprout Film Festival is program managed and supported by Sprout, a NYC-based non-profit organization, dedicated to bringing innovative programming to people with developmental disabilities.
