Who better to cover the Paralympics, the international sporting event for athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities, than Niko von Glasow, the world's best-known disabled filmmaker? Born with severely shortened arms, von Glasow serves as an endearing guide to London's Paralympics competition where his own stereotypes about disability and sports get delightfully punctured. Official Selection of the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival.
Lunch snacks will be provided, but attendees are also welcome to bring their own brown-bag lunch.
