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.
Not necessarily Expensive
A pair of new shoes might not cure a broken heart or soothe a tension headache but they will relieve the symptoms and chase away the blues’ –these words were written by the famous Fashion critic, Holly Brubach. Well this statement reflects that shoes are of immense importance and they are an integral part of fashion. The origin of women shoes dates back to before Christ.
This is rather hilarious. Thanks for posting.
That’s very inspiring to know. People who have down syndrome must be treated special. Knowing that this person tries to do better things on their own,ike tie their own shoes makes us very proud.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it so much. Great post.
