Rodi Festival (Thessaloniki, Greece)
The purpose of the International Festival “Reflection of Disability in Art” (iRoDi Festival) is to highlight art through the perspective of disability. The idea starts from the inalienable right of people with disabilities to express themselves through art, either amateur or professional. The festival is meant to reflect the skills of people with disabilities and the opportunities that each society has to provide to each individual, contributing to the cultural identity of the individual and society.
Focus on Ability (Brisbane, Austrálie)
Since 2009, the NOVA Employment Short Film Festival, titled “Focus on Ability™” (FOA), has been showcasing short films. This festival encourages filmmakers to focus on the abilities of people with disabilities and tell their stories through film, reaching a global audience.
NOVA collaborates with Paula Duncan, known not only for her success in the Australian film and television industry but also for her passionate commitment to supporting people with disabilities. Together, they tirelessly work to present this festival to the world.
Festival Regards Croisés (Saint-Malo, Francie)
Regards Croisés is the first short film festival with the theme “Professions and Disability.” Created in 2009 at the initiative of the l’Hippocampe association, this festival has already brought together many public and private stakeholders who share the same values. The Regards Croisés festival contributes to the promotion of policies aimed at supporting individuals with disabilities and also facilitates the exchange of professional knowledge through films. Contestants express their professional lives in a humorous, different, or serious manner, contributing to the festival’s mission.
The Extraordinary Film Festival (Burussels, Belgium)
“Has anyone ever told you that you are extraordinary?” Life can be amazing and challenging. We all have our limitations, and that makes us extraordinary. A unique film festival in Belgium shows us how fundamentally similar we are and that we are all extraordinary.
Together! 2012 (London, GB)
“Together! 2012 CIC is led by artists with disabilities and is based in the London borough of Newham, which hosted the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. We are proud to have been chosen as East London Community Heroes 2022 for ‘Extraordinary Initiative in Arts and Culture.’
Prague Film Suitcase
The idea of organizing a festival for young filmmakers originated in 2017 at the House of Children and Youth Prague 6. We knew that there were various film festivals in our country, professional, student, and amateur, animation workshops, events focused on documentaries, or films for children, but there was no space where children and young people under 20 could publicly showcase their creations. And so, the Prague Film Suitcase was born.
One World Festival
The One World Festival has been an integral part of the activities of the People in Need organization for over two decades.. Since its inception in 1999, it has brought documentary films about human rights from around the world to the Czech audience, screening them in dozens of cities across the country and also in Czech elementary and secondary schools. One World has received the honorable recognition of UNESCO for its education on human rights.
