The Arc Northern Shenandoah Valley is proud to present the
Arc and Sprout National Film Festival

“We invite you to experience film and video related to the field of developmental disabilities. 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.

 By presenting films of artistry and intellect, the festival hopes to reinforce accurate portrayals of people with developmental disabilities and expose the general public to important issues facing this population. The goal is an enjoyable and enlightening experience that will help breakdown stereotypes, promoting a greater acceptance of differences and awareness of similarities.”

The Festival will be held at the Alamo Theater Drafthouse Cinema, 181 Kernstown Commons Blvd, Winchester, VA .
