About

The Adoptee Film Fest is proud to champion Adoptee filmmakers who have created films centering and exploring the Adoptee identity and experience, all of which our selections embody.

We are proud to debut our Features program this year consisting of 3 films selected by 10 adoptees from around the world who make up our Features Selection Committee. We are honored to be hosting the NYC premiere of ‘Il Mio Posto a Tavola - My Place at the Table’ by Santo Marbella.

Please join us for a screening of the film, followed by a Q&A with ‘Il Mio Posto a Tavola - My Place at the Table’ filmmaker Santo Marabella.

About ‘Il Mio Posto a Tavola - My Place at the Table’
Il Mio Posto a Tavola (My Place at the Table) is a documentary film that examines the emotional complexities of adoption. Featuring the story of Dr. Santo D. Marabella, who was part of the Italian “Baby Scoop Era”, this film explores the trauma of abandonment, its impact on relationships and loneliness, and the universal need for belonging.
