Tying Your Own Shoes is a documentary about four artists who happen to have special needs.
An animated movie about Petra, Matthew, Daninah and Katherine, who all have Down Syndrome, Tying Your Own Shoes takes a look at how art affects self-esteem and perceptions of ability.
Launching to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st, people can go see the film on March 14 & 21 (10 a.m.) at NFB’s Mediateque centre for media technology in Toronto. You can RSVP by calling 416.973.3012 – it’s free.
There is also a workshop with the artists where people can try out the different techniques used in the film.
