Sprout Film Festival April 30 - May 2 in New York City

The 2010 Sprout Film Festival will be Friday April 30- Sunday May 2, 2010 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ruth And Herald D. Uris Center For Education, 81st St. & 5th Avenue in New York City.

The film festival focuses on film and video related to the field of developmental disabilities. Sprout was founded because "people with developmental disabilities as subjects and performers remain marginalized in the media. The Sprout Film Festival aims to raise their profile by showcasing works of all genres featuring this population."

At the 2010 Sprout Film Festival, "Our House," "Billy the Kid," and "The Horse Boy" are just some of the films that will be screened. The festival will also screen a number of short documentaries such as "Dancing with Downs" and "Rudely Interrupted."
