The online festival is October 19-22nd, and onsite will be the 21st at Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage and the 22nd at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. More details about screenings, accessibility, how to buy passes that really do start at $0, and all you want to know are available on the website: SuperfestFilm.com/superfest-2023.

About Superfest

Superfest Disability Film Festival is the longest-running disability film festival in the world. For more than 30 years, Superfest has celebrated cutting-edge cinema that portrays disability through a diverse, complex, unabashed, and engaging lens. Superfest is one of the few festivals worldwide that prioritizes access for disabled filmgoers of all kinds, and I think they do a pretty awesome job at it. I’ve shown films there, had my audio description and captions played there, and served with great pride and joy on their selection jury for two years now. I’m Superfest all day, every day.

And extra neat, the Asian Art Museum is the venue in San Francisco for the onsite screenings. The museum has generously agreed not to collect any fees for their exhibits if you’re attending Superfest on October 22nd. Consider showing up early to check out their exhibitions! Their website has info on their mobile app audio tours and even one exhibit tour in ASL.

If you’ve got the means, please support Superfest with a tax-deductible contribution or even sponsorship. Details are on their Support page.
