Run If You Can

ReelAbilities Columbus, the traveling program of the New York ReelAbilities Disabilities Film Festival, will present award-winning films and engaging special presentations that celebrate the lives, stories, and art of people with disabilities from October 4–7, 2013 at venues across central Ohio. ReelAbilities brings the community together to explore, discuss, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experience. The universality of disability is made visible through the presentation of films, multimedia, and first person narratives.

Run If You Can is a story about youthful friendships, featuring a love triangle between frustrated Ben, who is in a wheelchair; his playful caretaker, Christian; and Annika, the dreamer, musician, and object of both young men’s desire. (112 mins, DCP, in German with English subtitles)
