Mission
We invite you to experience film and video related to the field of developmental disabilities.
People with developmental disabilities as subjects and performers remain marginalized in the media. The Sprout Film Festival aims to raise their profile by showcasing works of all genres featuring this population.
By presenting films of artistry and intellect, the festival hopes to reinforce accurate portrayals of people with developmental disabilities and expose the general public to important issues facing this population. The goal is an enjoyable and enlightening experience that will help breakdown stereotypes, promoting a greater acceptance of differences and awareness of similarities.
History
The Sprout Film Festival was founded in 2003 and is programmed and supported by Sprout, a NYC-based non-profit organization, dedicated to bringing innovative programming to people with developmental disabilities. Sprout has been making videos related to the field of developmental disabilities since 1995 and has witnessed the myriad benefits these videos have for this population and the general public.
General
The annual Sprout Film Festival will be held in New York City on Friday April 27th and Saturday April 28th at NYU’s Cantor Film Center and Sunday April 29th at the International Youth Hostel. In addition to the annual festival held every spring in New York City, we also offer the Sprout Touring Film Festival.
