The 8th Annual Sprout Film Festival is April 30 - May 2, 2010 at the Met in NYC. I would love to go and see these documentaries. The festival features documentaries by and about people with developmental disabilities. The festival also tours the country. Hopefully it will come around LA soon!

Here are a few trailers recently uploaded by Sprout…

Bill The Kid - About an “outsider” teen who was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome after the film was made.

Beyond Borders follows three individuals in different cultures who have developmental disabilities.

The Collector is a documentary about the filmmaker’s neighbor and brings together the whole community to support a older adult with mental disabilities.
