Event Description

Help us celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities with a private screening of the documentary film Planet of Snail. The film follows Young-Chan, a South Korean deafblind poet and his wife Soon-Ho, who communicate through tactile braille by tapping words onto each others’ hands. Combining beautiful imagery with Young-Chan's poetry, the film offers a moving portrait of their lives and explores important questions about life with disability.

Planet of Snail won Best Documentary prize at the International Film Festival Amsterdam, was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival, and won Official Selection at the Hot Docs Festival.

In addition to popcorn, candy, and drinks, this event includes Korean snacks!

Staff may use the event for IAAP professional development credits.

This event is open to all Princeton University staff.

The film will be shown with subtitles. If you require any other type of accommodation to participate, please email your request to [email protected] at least a week in advance.
