Friday, March 12, 2010
For the second year running, Charlottesville will come alive with the vision of film and media makers exploring the complexities of disability experience and the rich diversity of disability culture.
PREP/Parent Resource Center, in collaboration with ARC of the Piedmont, Charlottesville Parks and Recreation, Light House Studio, Piedmont
Council of the Arts, VSA arts, and the Virginia Institute of Autism, invites you to experience film and video related to the field of developmental disabilities. The goal is an enjoyable and enlightening experience that will help break down stereotypes, promoting a greater acceptance of differences and awareness of similarities.
Festival show times are 10:30 am – 12:00 pm and 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. The morning show is free, with a $10 suggested donation for the evening performance. Proceeds will support My Turn, Your Turn, a new DVD project featuring the music of Charlottesville musician and composer Cathy Bollinger. The DVD, which will provide a visual and interactive resource for teaching social skills to children, will be targeted to parents and educators, including special education teachers, and will include local individuals with and without disabilities.
The festival will be held at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Performing Arts
Center.
