Directed by Shira Avni, 2009
In celebration of World Down Syndrome Day.
Winner, Golden Dove Award, DOK Leipzig – International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film, 2009.

Tying Your Own Shoes is an intimate glimpse into the exceptional mindsets and emotional lives of four adult artists with Down Syndrome. The film is a creative exploration of ability, and how it feels to be a little bit unusual.
The launch includes a special workshop opportunity with workshop facilitators from the film, and the four artists. Participants will experiment with the different artistic techniques used in the film, in order to get an in-depth sense of the artists’ creative process.
