ReelAbilities, the Boston Disability Film Festival, starts in a week, running from January 30th through February 6th. Autism is well represented with the following films:

• Wretches & Jabberers

• Son of the Stars

• Autism in Love (short)

• Sensory Overload (short)

• Come As You Are

• My Perfect Buddy (a short)

The Wretches & Jabberers screening on opening night will be attended by its protagonists Larry Bissonnette and Tracy Thesher. They communicate via iPad, and will be answering questions afterwards.

In "Wretches & Jabberers", two men with autism embark

on a global quest to change prevailing attitudes about

disability and intelligence.

Many, many other films will be shown; most ReelAbilities screenings are free of charge.

Please see the complete list of films and the full list of venues, along with the schedule for each of them.
