We just wrapped our 2019 event in San Francisco in November. We were so pleased at how this event came off. Thanks again to all our speakers, sponsors, filmmakers, volunteers Hundreds of people gathered to watch and tell stories of diseases they had never heard of and some they know far too well.
Check out some of the 2017 photos.

And since the first festival spawned several other screenings of our films around the world including Miami, Philadelphia, Sioux Falls and back to Boston again, who knows what will come of this one. When and where is our next fest? Stay tuned.
About
Disorder: The Rare Disease Film Festival is a new event showcasing films from around the world which address the challenges of life with a rare disease. It was held Oct. 2nd and 3rd, 2017 in Boston, MA. Most (but not all) of our films are documentaries. Many are less than 15 minutes.
Many filmmakers attending will have an opportunity for questions and answers with our audience following the presentation of their film.
Between some of our slates of films rare disease researchers and patient advocates will also share stories from their experience.
We believe increased awareness can connect patient families, inspire conversations about translation applications of current science, lead to new paths for research and save lives. These films put the often abstract and dire clinical information into the context of real people living their lives.
