Superfest Disability Film Festival

Superfest Disability Film Festival For more than 30 years, Superfest has celebrated cutting-edge cinema that portrays disability through a diverse, complex, unabashed and engaging lens.

Superfest International Disability Film Festival is the longest running disability film festival in the world. Since it first debuted in a small Los Angeles showcase in 1970 it has become an eagerly anticipated international event—co-hosted by San Francisco's LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State. Superfest is one of the few festivals worldwide that is completely accessible to disabled filmgoers of all kinds.

We’re writing to help spread the word about an exciting opportunity for escaping into disability and culture through film. For more than 35 years, Superfest Disability Film Festival has celebrated cutting-edge cinema that portrays disability through a diverse, complex, unabashed and engaging lens, the longest-running festival of its kind. The San Francisco Disability Cultural Center — a space designed by our disabled community for our disabled community, is proud to host Superfest this year.

We will have in-person, hybrid, and virtual offerings Thursday October 16th through Sunday October 19th. In-person events will take place at the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center, located at 165 Grove Street (https://disabilityculturalcenter.org/visit/). All of the films will be available 24/7 on Vimeo through the whole festival weekend.
