A Special "Brailled It" Showing!

​Join us for a screening of Brailled It, a groundbreaking documentary filmed by blind and low-vision kids competing at the Braille Challenge. Experience their world through their own cameras, their own voices, and on their own terms. We will have a special showing of the documentary during our 2026 opening on Wednesday, October 14th! Be sure to arrive by 8:45am for our conference kick off! Learn more about "Brailled It" on our BrailledIt! page. 
Movie poster for Brailled It. A blue Perkins Brailler is centered against a pale background. Below it, the title “BRAILLED IT” appears in large white letters with the title also represented in braille dots underneath. The Slamdance Film Festival 2026 logo appears above the brailler, with production credits and a QR code at the bottom.
