On Screen/In Person: Dislecksia: The Movie November 14, 2012

About one American in seven has some degree of dyslexia. It's a condition that makes it hard to learn to read the same way other people do. In the comic documentary Dislecksia: The Movie, dyslexic director Harvey Hubbell V presents the latest scientific knowledge about dyslexia and the experiences of dyslexics. The film gives dyslexics and their families hope as well as a crash course in how to keep smiling. (2011, 82 mins., documentary)

The Modlin Center for the Arts, in collaboration with the Firehouse Theatre Project, presents On Screen/In Person for the 2012-2013 season. The program, organized by the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, tours new independent American films and their respective filmmakers within communities across the Mid-Atlantic. Visiting filmmakers work with host sites to develop programming that provides context and greater appreciation for their work and the art of film.
