AS FILM FESTIVAL (AsFF) is the first international film and visual art festival managed by people with Asperger Syndrome. It was born as a follow-up of a wider program, started up by Not Equal Association in 2008, and based on the idea of using cinema as a tool for social inclusion. AsFF is unique because it is not a festival about autism, but a film festival made by people with autism. For this reason (this is our claim) “it is equal to the others festivals, but different”.
AS FILM FESTIVAL (AsFF) è il primo festival di cinema ed arti visive realizzato con la partecipazione attiva di persone che si riconoscono nella condizione autistica. Nato come follow-up di un programma in più fasi avviato dall'associazione Not Equal a partire dal 2008 e fondato sull'uso del cinema come strumento di aggregazione ed inclusione sociale, AsFF è un progetto unico nel suo genere: non un festival sull'autismo, ma un festival di cinema vero e proprio, fatto anche da persone autistiche. Ecco perchè, come recita il claim, è un festival uguale agli altri, però diverso.

Our mission is to:
● Bring awareness to the lack of diverse representation in front of and behind the camera
● Inspire and empower media creators of underrepresented and marginalized groups to engage in filmmaking as a feminist act
● Examine media through the intersecting lenses of gender, sexuality, race, ability, class, age, etc.

Now in its sixth year, the GRFFF was originally the brainchild of independent publisher The Bandit Zine as a film version of their magazine. What started as a small evening showcase has now grown into an all-day festival that includes interactive workshops and panels, performances by local artists, and films screened from around the world.
This year, the festival will be held at Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids. We'll be hosting speakers, a drag show and upwards of 30 short films
We’re excited to see the fest grow even more this year, and are so happy to be a part of the ever-evolving Grand Rapids feminist community.
GRFFF is run entirely by volunteers and is made possible through community partnerships and sponsors.
