Superfest International Disability Film Festival is the longest running disability film festival in the world. It started in 1970 and is pretty much THE disability film festival.

Perhaps more than any of the other film festivals so far, being accepted here has excited me the most. This will be the first time that The Invalid Corps will screen before a majority disabled audience. Considering the film was made by a majority disabled crew and is voiced by majority disabled voice talent and was funded by majority disabled supporters, it feels right to screen here.

I should have so much more to say but perhaps the best thing would be to simply include the most meaningful picture to us: The theatre full of people, many with disabilities, watching The Invalid Corps.

We were very excited to attend the Over-The-Rhine Film Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio in early October. The Over-The-Rhine Film Festival is the new name and expanded vision for the successful Cincinnati ReelAbilities Film Festival. Their new mission, since 2013, is to celebrate difference, diversity, and honor our shared humanity-a world where film and media reflect and value all.

We screened at the Art Academy of Cincinnati which is a fantastic building. But what really had us excited was seeing this outside the building. Our very own sandwich board clearly showing off the screening.

And of course we had to get a photo of the “big screen” with the names of all the nominees for the Grand Jury Documentary Short award. 🙂 Does one of those names look familiar?

We lost out to Life Lakota from Ryan Knapper but we have the photo to prove we were in the running!
