Thank you for joining us! What a delight to see so many friends, old and new, at this year’s Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival! Our long-time partners, the Alamo Drafthouse, welcomed us back to the theater for our first in-person Festival since 2019 (below, left). |

Despite a broken projector on Saturday night, we had a great time last weekend, watching our 6 international short film competition winners, this year's feature films, IMPERFECT and CRUTCH, and all the great performances from BodyShift (above, right), TILT, and Bill Shannon! |
