If you have an interest in a particular film genre, there are lots of movie festival options: Independent, horror, Midwest films. It runs the gamut. But for the Chicago organizers of the Reelabilities Film Festival, the goal is about breaking away from the niche and bringing in film fans from all areas. Filmmaker Matt Lauterbach and artist and advocate Reveca Torres want festival goers to see that people living with disabilities are experiencing the world in similar ways to many others, and their unique stories are not just because they live life with a disability. Both join the program to go over some of their Reelabilities Fest favorites. (Courtesy of Reelabilities)
