Our mission is to raise awareness of the triumphs within inclusive education. We believe there are issues related to social justice & lack of educational opportunity for students served in special education. We want to explore creative pedagogy that serves students within inclusive classroom environments using film as a launchpad for discussion, advocacy and change in special education.
Western Colorado University's Communication Arts/Film and Education Departments are proud to bring you this event.
The DisAbility Film Festival will be a two-day event, Saturday evening will include a film screening and keynote with a filmmaker along with a reception. Following Saturday's reception, we will have one 2 hour block of screenings of winning films. On Sunday, we will have 3 2-hour blocks of screenings throughout the day.
We are interested in offering travel to the beautiful Gunnison Valley as a reward for select filmmakers to visit Western Colorado University to participate in our film festival activities. Wish us luck!
