SUMMARY:PE Films Featured in the Socially Relevant Film Festival!
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to share that we have two films featured in the Socially Relevant Film Festival\, screening March 10th and 13th in New York City! \nThese films were made possible by the generous support of the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.\n\nMother Cabrini Health Foundation has funded more than 20 Positive Exposure FRAME Films\, including the two in this festival\, which address mental health recovery through the arts and Alzheimer’s disease in our aging I/DD community. We are grateful to Mother Cabrini Health Foundation for their dedication to improving health care for marginalized populations. Mother Cabrini’s support to Positive Exposure has been transformative\, enabling us to create a film library that presents humanity at the forefront of medical training for the next generation of health care providers\, creating opportunities to better care for a population that often experiences stigma\, discrimination\, and exclusion in the medical system and broader social arena.\nThese films highlight the lived experiences of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)\, and reflect the importance of authentic representation and inclusive storytelling.\nTICKETS HERE\n  \n \nCREATE THAT WORLD\nMarch 10 | 6:30 PM\nMRHS – Community Room\n100 La Salle Street\, New York\, NY 10027\nTUESDAY – Shorts Block – Mental Health – MRHS. This is a program of short films on the subject of Mental Health. The program starts at 6:30 PM; the screening is followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and a celebratory glass of wine. \n\n\n\n“Create That World” is a short film that offers an intimate glimpse into a vibrant\, supportive studio in New York City\, where artists living with mental illness find both a creative outlet and a lifeline. The film explores how art spaces can serve as a sanctuary\, where social connection and artistic freedom help people not only create\, but also reclaim a sense of purpose and belonging.\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nPATHFINDERMarch 13 | 1:00 PM\nCinema Village\n22 E 12th St\, New York\, NY 10003\nFRIDAY – Shorts # 4 – DISABILITY. A series of short films dealing with disability. \n“Pathfinder” is a short documentary that follows Frank and Carrie\, two residents of Pathfinder\, a unique open-access community for individuals with Down syndrome. The film challenges common assumptions about the relationship between Down syndrome and dementia\, offering a humanizing portrayal of both protagonists as they and their families navigate complexities of aging and disability. \nThe film highlights the vital role of family and community in providing unwavering support\, and underscores the importance of affirming the integrity\, intelligence\, and autonomy of individuals living with Down syndrome. \n  \n  \n  \nThank you to Diplodocus Films. \n  \n  \nImage Descriptions: \n\nA four-person film crew stands in a deserted area\, closely observing the actions of their subject\, who is cloaked in a striped army jacket. The director holds a professional-grade camera in focus while his crew supplies a boom mic and mixer to record audio.\n“Create That World”: A bespectacled individual dressed in faded jeans and a white shirt holds a black-and-white photograph of a blossoming flower. They appear content with their artistic creation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Pathfinder”: An older man in a black coat and navy blue jeans hugs a young lady in a pink sweatshirt on his right side. Behind them is a football net. A ball planted near their feet.
