dfw_ltolentiDifferent from What? Film Festival explores the expression and construction of ability and disability from multiple perspectives. In what ways do our cultural practices reflect conventions and expectations that make some differences visible while obscuring others? Who and what conspires to compose these defining images and in what ways are they avoided, resisted, contested/challenged? Film buffs, social justice advocates, disability rights activists, social workers, educators and many others will be intrigued by this mélange of film, conversation, and celebration of the differences that punctuate our community discourses. different from what? Film Festival will hold its premiere at the MADCAP Theaters in Tempe, AZ, from January 29-31, 2010. The Festival will feature productions that display a wide breadth of perspectives on disability as a life experience, an identity, and a social and political construct. The Festival is a student-led initiative organized in collaboration with the Equity Alliance at Arizona State University, an organization providing services that support learning around equity, access, and participation.
