4 Ways the ReelAbilities Film Festival Made Me Feel Seen and Valued
Eye-opening, validating, and a sense of pride. That’s how my experience virtually attending the ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York from May 1 – May 5 for the first time left me feeling. ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York is “the largest film festival in the country dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories, and artistic expressions of people with disabilities.” It was founded by Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan in 2007. Over the years it has expanded to offering the weeklong festival full of a wide range of international film selections, conversations, and performances across 19 cities throughout the United States, Canada and South America.
