Two Balloons is impossible not to love. It's truly a feast for the senses. We were lucky enough to screen it at the 2019 edition of the Bushwick Film Festival and had the good sense to place it as the closing film in a "space" themed shorts block. Every choice made by it's director, Mark C. Smith, is a perfect one (not something you can say about many films or directors). Highly recommended.

The Ability Exchange is a powerful documentary that follows NYU Polytechnic's innovative Disability Studies Course. The film is a phenomenally nuanced journey that in unafraid to confront uncomfortable situations. Director Bing Wang questions the ever present ableism in our world through humor and honesty and challenges the perceptions we have of "normalcy". The Ability Exchange gives voices to a community that is more often than not silenced and weaves together beautifully human stories. This is a movie about communication and making human connections and what we desire most—being understood.
