Kickstart Disability Arts and Culture is a non-profit organization in Vancouver. For more than ten years, we have presented artists with various disabilities working in music, theatre and visual art.
Our most well-known event is the Kickstart Festival, but recently we have been organizing a new event. It’s called the Wide Angle Media (WAM) Festival and it will feature films from all over the world.
Kickstart received several submissions from Deaf filmmakers for our WAM Festival.
This is your invitation to see some interesting short films from Deaf UK filmmakers. These films range from funny (“Deaf Mugger” or “Hands Solo”, about a Deaf porn star) to thought-provoking (“The End”, a sci-fi mockumentary about the last Deaf person on Earth). Other titles are “All Day” and “My Song”.
The Festival runs from March 22-25, 2012 at the Roundhouse Community Centre.
Most films are captioned and sign language interpretation will be provided at all screenings.
For additional festival and film details, check out: www.wideanglemedia.ca
Tickets for each festival program, which include several short films, range from $7 to $9, with a one-time $2 membership.
