Coming up at a very "special" disTHIS! on June 18, 2008: Fresh from their bombastic premiere at the SXSW Festival, disTHIS! is pleased to present the band "too hardcore for Radio 4" and the critically acclaimed documentary of the same name as they break into the mainstream, Heavy Load! Did we mention they'll be giggin' too? Watch this space for complete details as they become available!

Previous Screenings

The disTHIS! Film Series, sponsored by the Disabilities Network of NYC in association with DCTV, showcases quality narrative, shorts, documentary and feature films with disability themes beyond clichés.

On the first Wednesday of each month, the disTHIS! Film Series screens movies which spotlight pride instead of pity, character over charity and direction rather than diagnosis.

disTHIS! screenings are funny, sexy and maybe even a little startling; always provocative, never quite what you'd expect. Or as the slogan says, disability through a whole new lens.

All disTHIS! movies, talkback sessions and related events are open to the public.
