Ep 76: Film Festivals

May 04, 2020

Today’s episode is about film festivals and I speak with Alex Locust (@Glamputee) and Karen Nakamura (@nasukaren), two jury members for the Superfest Disability Film Festival (@SuperfestFilm), a festival organized by the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University (@LongmoreInst). Alex and Karen talk about what it’s like to be on a jury, what it means to have a film festival that’s radically inclusive and centered on disabled audiences, and how festivals like Superfest are advancing disability representation.
