ReelAbilities: NY Disabilities Film Festival
For years, New York City has hosted an outstanding film event entitled ReelAbilities: NY Disabilities Film Festival. The festival presents award-winning films, accompanied by discussion and other programs which bring the community together to explore, discuss and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experiences.
The success in the Big Apple has been overwhelming so the organizers decided to expand. The organizers explored other U.S. cities where they might create and develop a traveling program. Cincinnati has been selected as the first city outside of New York to host this film festival. Next year the program will travel to the cities Atlanta, Boston, Washington, D.C., Nashville, and Houston, to name a few. But let me reiterate that Cincinnati is the first! Events will be happening at three different venues for two weeks this fall. The College of Mount St Joseph has been lucky enough to be one of those three.
The College will be hosting two film events. On Tuesday, September 20, the film “Warrior Champions” will be shown in the College Theatre, and on Thursday, September 22, “Shooting Beauty” will be shown. Each film will begin at 7 p.m. A “talkback” (discussion) session will be held following each film. General admission tickets are $10, and $5 for seniors citizens. However, students with a College of Mount St Joseph ID will be admitted free.
Additionally, an interactive art exhibit from Visionaries and Voices will be set up in Seton Center Lobby on the campus of the College of Mount St Joseph for a few weeks in September. The art exhibit, which features work by people with disabilities, is free.

Please help make ReelAbilities a Mount success. Attached is a flyer about the entire film festival. Please take a look and feel free to send it to others who might be interested. We would LOVE to fill the theatre!
