The Marvels of Media Festival returns for its fifth year, taking place March 26–28, 2026 at the Museum of the Moving Image. The event continues its mission of celebrating and elevating autistic media-makers through free screenings, exhibitions, panels, and workshops. Founded by Josh Sapan, former CEO of AMC Networks for 25 years, responsible for hit shows including Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and The Walking Dead, among others, the festival creates a vital space for artists to showcase their work, connect with industry professionals, and build community. In this interview, Sapan is joined by festival programmer Miranda Lee, who brings her own perspective as an autistic creative, to discuss the festival’s growth, its impact, and what to expect from the festival moving forward.
