This showcase, presented by the UCSF Office for Disability Access and Inclusion in partnership with the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability, highlights some short films from previous Superfest festivals that explore the intersections of disability identity, health equity in times of pandemics and climate change, and ableism in the healthcare system.”
