Lexington's 11th annual One World Film Festival kicks off this Sunday, February 15 with "Autism: The Musical," a documentary that follows several autistic children as they create and perform their own musical.
This is a great (if under-publicized) Lexington festival, with different films shown every Sunday and Thursday until the end of March. The mission of the fest is to "increase awareness of issues particularly those of culture, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender that challenge the increasingly diverse population of Lexington and the Bluegrass area," and the movies are usually pretty interesting.
Venues include the downtown Lexington public library and the Kentucky Theatre. Check out the schedule of screenings and descriptions of all the films here.
(Next Thursday, Feb 19, the KY Theatre will show a Pete Seeger doc.)
