Coming Soon:
A wanna-be podcast about disability representation in movies – by and about disabled people, for everyone.
Hear from a disabled person who talks about how their disability is reflected in a given film. Good, bad, and sometimes truly bizarre, how movies represent a disability can form public opinion. Let’s dispel myths about how disabilities work, but also talk about things we love in movies – even bad ones!
Let’s Build a Database!
Help add to the list of movies that depict disabilities on film by contributing your list of movies and the disabilities they represent.
May’s DisMovie screening is Benny & Joon. Mentally ill Joon is cared for by older brother Benny. In comes Sam, an illiterate man with a sense of whimsy and silent movie style prat falls. Saturday, May 23 at 2pm ET. Playing FREE on Hyperbeam.
