The program includes inspirational short films featuring people with disabilities. The characters are depicted personally and professionally, living with pride in their abilities. There will be a keynote welcome and an interactive panel to discuss the films.
Most of the films in the program have been recognized at the international Sprout Film Festival, with whom Pace is partnered in 2022. The films are a mix of comedy, documentary, drama, narrative and poetry, and international screenings. The program will demonstrate the breadth of life experienced by people with disabilities.
