Join us to celebrate 20 years of Cinema Touching Disability, with live entertainment, featured guests, community, and great disability cinema!
The Coalition of Texans with Disabilities presents the 20th annual Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival. The top cinematic celebration of disability in Texas, the festival features the work of independent filmmakers from around the world, from documentaries to animated shorts to the avant-garde.
The 2023 festival will include screenings of winners and official selections of this year’s international short film competition; the Team Everest 03 short documentary (also celebrating its 20th anniversary); live music; the inaugural Gene Rodgers Creative Advocacy Award; a champagne toast to 20 years of the festival; and more.
Cinema Touching Disability is open to the public. A $10 ticket will reserve your spot in the theater, and the price of the ticket will be reimbursed in cash at the door! Incidental costs like parking, snacks, and drinks are not included in the ticket. If tickets sell out, we will have a wait list online and at the door.
