5th Annual Marvels of Media Festival

The Museum of the Moving Image's Marvels of Media Festival returns for its fifth installment from Thursday, March 26 to Saturday, March 28. Celebrating the work of autistic media-makers, the free, three-day event at the Astoria museum kicks off with the opening night program "The Human Condition" — spotlighting three works that explore universal struggles with communication and connection — and continues with film screenings, industry panels, networking events and workshops for puppetry, stop-motion animation and filmmaking and panels and networking opportunities. Designed with accessibility in mind, Marvels of Media will also include the MoMI Visual Story Guide, a sensory relief space in the Media Lab, as well as sensory kits.
