"60 Seconds to Fame!" is part of ABILITYFEST 2009 - India International Disability Film Festival, which is scheduled to be held at Chennai from October 12 to 15, 2009. First held in 2005 at Chennai, ABILITYFEST 2009 has since then, evolved as a major bi-annual event. International film festivals on disability are extremely significant platforms that showcase sensitively made films by, with and about disability and provide significant platforms for discussion on a whole range of major disability issues. Thus, ABILITYFEST 2009 is an important vehicle in India to communicate powerful messages, one such being the importance of access.

As a national cross disability organization, ABILITY FOUNDATION is an organization that has made several strides towards empowerment and inclusion of persons with disabilities in India. The organization works towards an inclusive society, equal opportunities and a level playing field for all persons with disabilities stressing on the availability of the right opportunities at the right time. We firmly believe all it takes is an open mind.
