Sprout Film Festival 2003 in New York City
We invite you to experience film and video related to the field of developmental disabilities. People with developmental disabilities as subjects and performers remain marginalized in film and television. The festival aims to raise their profile by showcasing works related to this population. By presenting films of artistry and intellect, the festival hopes to reinforce accurate portrayals of people with developmental disabilities and expose the media and general public to important issues facing this population. The goal is an enjoyable and enlightening experience that will help breakdown stereotypes, promoting a greater acceptance of differences and awareness of similarities. This year's festival will present 17 diverse and independent shorts, documentaries and animations presented in 4 distinct programs at the Uris Auditorium in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The Sprout Film Festival is programmed and supported by Sprout, a NYC-based non-profit organization, and is presented this year in conjunction with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Discoveries Program.
