Event Details
Join us for the 22nd annual Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival at the Rollins Theater on Saturday, September 20th! This year we have a jam-packed program of funny, moving, and educational shorts by and about people with disabilities. Enjoy an evening of culture and community, including a discussion with advocates from the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities on advances made in the recent legislative session (and how they relate to this year’s shorts program).
Cinema Touching Disability is open to the public, with tickets priced on a sliding scale. Incidental costs like parking, snacks, and drinks are not included in the ticket. If cost is a barrier, you can request comped tickets by emailing filmfest@txdisabilities.org. If tickets sell out, we will have a wait list online and at the door.
Regarding access, the theater will have open seating, with unattached chairs on a level floor, and some tables for those who need a surface. All films will be screened with open captions, and ASL interpretation will be provided for all spoken portions of the Festival. Audio description devices and sound amplification devices will be available. Garage parking includes accessible spaces, and a limited number of parking spaces out front will be reserved for us (no valet this year). Please email us if you need one of those spaces. For additional access requests, please contact the Festival at filmfest@txdisabilities.org or the Long Center Box Office at boxoffice@thelongcenter.org.
