Sprout Touring Film Festival

The Sprout Touring Film Festival enables agencies to custom design a local film festival of films featuring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Whether for advocacy, awareness, fundraising or thought-provoking entertainment, arranging a Sprout Touring Film Festival in your area is sure to create a highly memorable and enlightening experience for your audience. Through our continually growing library of film, your agency or group has access to an extensive and varied selection of films of artistry and intellect. You can choose to show a diverse mix of films or narrow your focus to particular theme or subject.

Submissions are officially open! For consideration into our ongoing Sprout Touring Film Festival submit your film below. We accept all genres of any length.

I cannot say thank you enough or fully express my gratitude for all of Sprout’s work here in Duluth and in general. The films and your work have an exponential impact that is so very powerful. It was also more than a pleasure working with Sprout and I look forward to next year. Thank you.

I’m thrilled about the turnout and the response from each of the screenings. The films were so powerful and to share that in the community was tremendous. Sprout handled the technical difficulties with grace and turned that moment into an opportunity for all of us to connect more with Sprout and the films. I couldn’t be happier about the day. I hope Sprout rests well knowing how it have supported and encouraged our community. Already we’re getting questions about when the next Sprout film festival will be held!
