Brazil´s 5th Disability Film Festival
By featuring films overcoming barriers, breaking prejudices, making you
think and have fun, giving new perspectives to the disability issue,
Assim Vivemos Festival has been the greatest celebration of cultural
inclusion in Brazil. The protagonists are disabled people, both in films
and in the audience.
For it to become true, Assim Vivemos, since its first edition, brings all
accessibilities (audio-description, Braille catalogs, Closed Caption,
LIBRAS interpretation in debates and movie theaters accessible to
wheel chairs).
Over two weeks, 28 films from 12 countries will be displayed, revealing
singular universes such as that of children from Myanmar (former
Burma) and that of wheel chair women from Mozambique. As traditional,
four debates will be held about specific themes, congregating disabled
people, specialized professionals, university teachers, movies directors,
among others.
