The 8th Disability Film Festival is an annual event produced by the London Disability Arts Forum.  The next festival will be held in November 2006.

The deaf and hard of hearing have been mostly left out of the movie-going experience. For the past several years, Cinema/Chicago has reached out to these communities by raising awareness of the multitude of high-quality subtitled films at The Chicago International Film Festival. At many Festival screenings, sign-language interpreters are present to facilitate participation by deaf audience members in the post-screening discussions.

Texans with Disabilities designed the Cinema Touching Disability film festival to improve perceptions and dispel common misperceptions that many people hold about disability. The powerful role that cinema plays in American culture makes a film festival ideal for this purpose.  Movies, after all, reflect and shape the attitudes that people have about important social issues, including disability. Each year we show and discuss films that illustrate how well, and how poorly, people with disabilities are portrayed in motion pictures.

FOCUS Film Festival explores documentary and feature films which explore the complexity of the human experience: disability, relationships, aging, culture, lifestyle and more. Our mission is to inspire self-advocacy, demonstrate possibilities, present positive role models, and heighten disability awareness within our community.

Perspectives Film Festival challenges stereotypes and explores the lives of people with developmental disabilities through an array of feature, documentary and short films.

Picture this...Canada's first international disability film festival will take place in February 12-16  2007.

Sprout's Make-A-Movie Program offers people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to star in and be part of the production process of creative video making. Producing videos since 1994, Sprout's Make-A-Movie program is an exciting way for participants to explore their creative side. Participants' videos have been shown at several festivals and at public screenings throughout the United States.

SUPERFEST International Media Festival takes place once a year and is given by the Corporation on Disability and Telecommunication.
