Warm Greetings.

Ability Foundation presents its fourth AbilityFEST 2011, India International Disability Film Festival, from October 10 to 13 at Sathyam Cinemas. This is a great opportunity to watch some amazing films from over 15 countries by, with and about people with disabilities. Each day will have four screenings - 10 AM, 1PM, 4 PM and 7PM. The screening schedule is available on the Ability Foundation website www.abilityfoundation.org,

Award winning films from across the world have been selected to give this year's Fest a global perspective to disability and inclusion. They range from the highly acclaimed “Praying with Lior” and 'Temple Grandin' (USA), the spirited 'Nobody's Perfect' and “Children of the Moon” (Germany) to the poignant 'Mother' (Korea) and the heartwarming 'After Thomas' (UK). The short films include the feisty 'Fixing Luka' (Scotland) and the endearing 'Anything You Can Do' (UK). 

This year,the inaugural function at 6.30 pm on Monday October 10 showcases our very own Tamil Blockbuster Deiva Thirumagal ,screened for the first time in India with audio description (audio description is a pre recorded narrative describing what is happening on the screen in between dialogues so as to enhance the cinema viewing experience for blind people). Director A.L.Vijay will grace the occasion along with the cast of the film.
