The inauguralBluenose-Ability Film Festival will take place
throughout December 3-5, 2015.
Launching on
United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
BAFF is proudly presented by reachAbility.
Taking place in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia, The Bluenose-Ability Film Festival is Atlantic Canada’s first disability film festival. BAFF encourages participation of persons with disabilities in a media event that honours and celebrates the unique contributions of the growing disability arts and culture movement. Aiming to be the Canadian leader in disability focused arts and culture, we’re dedicated to showcasing professional films as well as promoting youth/first-time filmmaker participation. Our goal is to showcase innovative and provocative works from both seasoned filmmakers and emerging media arts professionals from Atlantic Canada and around the world.
THE FAMILY OF MAN
For the inaugural year of BAFF/BAFFY we have chosen the theme:
We are a Family! If you are humming a Sister Sledge song; good. The importance of family as the core of all we are and can become cannot be denied. The influence of family on the culture of identity. This being the first year of the Festival we felt the foundation is being built, much like the role family plays in all our lives. Family; our first contact with all that is both scary and satisfying. Truly where our foundation, as humans, is laid.

Host Sponsor, reachAbility is a culture of acceptance dedicated to enriching and empowering individuals and the community through a fair, equitable and inclusive environment.
Our reputation for fun, interesting, engaging and creative programming is well-founded. Our programs are inclusive of, not exclusive of, persons with disabilities. Meaning, reachAbility is dedicated to equalizing the playing field for people facing barriers.
Through our unique partnerships within the Disability, Aboriginal, African Canadian and New Immigrant communities, we have been able to create programming customized to supporting pre-employment skills and employment opportunities for all Nova Scotians facing the sting of stigma!
reachAbility is built on the belief that we are all equal, and accommodation is simply about equalizing the playing field.
We have a committed staff that provides support and guidance to a wide range of clients with a focus on programs designed to build a stronger community — one ability at a time.
