DINA- A CENTERPIECE DOCUMENTARY
Winner of the Sundance Film Festival's U.S. Documentary Grand Jury Prize
Dina and Scott are in love, moving in together and planning a wedding, a stressful time for most couples. But Dina and Scott are not a typical couple. Dina is a 49-year-old woman with a tragic past. Scott, who has never lived away from his parents, is a Walmart greeter. Both are adults with developmental differences, for whom love, sexuality and independence are fraught with challenges. Dina chronicles this poignant time in their lives and offers a glimpse into the world of people on the mental development spectrum.
Screened on Tuesday July 25 at 6.10 PM at Castro Theater, San Francisco
Sunday August 6 at 4.15 PM Albany Twin Theater

KEEP THE CHANGE
Winner of Best Narrative Feature and Best New Narrative Director, Tribeca Film Festival
In a refreshingly honest way Keep the Change portrays two adults on the autistic spectrum. David desperately wants to be seen as “normal,” but Sarah accepts who she is.
