The Arc is bringing the Sprout Film Festival on October 22nd to the Egyptian theater. Sprout is a unique opportunity to experience film and video related to the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Admission to the festival is $10 for general admission, and $8 for students, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. The Arc strives to raise awareness about those with disabilities.

The Ark hopes to reinforce accurate portrayals of individuals with developmental disabilities and to expose the general public to the important issues that are facing this population.

The goals of this festival include breaking down stereotypes, promoting greater acceptance of differences and raising awareness of the similarities we all share.

The films showing at the festival include: 

  • Rudely Interrupted
  • The Other Child
  • How’s Your News?: On the Campaign Trail

We are looking forward to seeing some amazing films and helping a great cause!
