    The Arc and Sprout National Film Festival

    Anthony Di Salvo, Executive Director of Sprout in New York City contacted VSA's Charles Washburn to let us know about the partnership between Comcast and The Arc & Sprout Film Festival bringing free films to On Demand for Comcast customers.

    Sprout is a non-profit organization which sponsors a festival each year of films made by or featuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Sprout is dedicated to helping people grow through challenging, creative and fun experiences that enhance socialization, self-confidence, and inclusion.

    Through November 30, 2014 stream films online or to watch on TV, Comcast subscribers can go to On Demand, click into the Specials folder and then click into the folder labeled Disability Awareness.  At the top of that page click on the folder labeled Sprout Film Festival.

    All 12 of the films on Comcast have sub-titles.  For even more Sprout films with subtitles, visit the Sprout Flix website.

    If you are interested in submitting a film for the 2015 festival, the deadline is March 1, 2015.
