Presented by the Wagner Green Centre for Access & Inclusion at the Miles Nadal JCC in Toronto, the ReelAbilities Film Festival Toronto is dedicated to showcasing the work and stories of Deaf and/or disabled communities and filmmakers from around the world.

ReelAbilities Film Festival Toronto acknowledges the original caretakers of the land of Tkaranto and Turtle Island, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat. We recognize that this region is also now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people. We honour the important history of this land, and celebrate the past, present, and future of Indigenous artists and storytellers.
