Disability, Not What One Expects

Speaker (in Heb.): Dr. Nili Broyer

Code of the Freaks

Dir.: Salome Chasnoff

Code of the Freaks is a radical reframing of the use of disabled characters in film. The film counters these formulaic entertainments with a powerful corrective: it dares to imagine a cinematic landscape that takes disabled people seriously.

Come As You Are

Dir.: Richard Wong

On the Adamant

Dir.: Nicolas Philibert

The Lost King

Dir.: Stephen Frears
| 108 minutes

When Philippa Langley sees a production of Richard III, she comes to believe that his depiction of manipulative and cruel is wrong and sets out to clear the reputation of the historical character. Stephen Frears presents a charming dramedy, while Sally Hawkins is tremendous in the lead role.

Vincent Wants to Sea

Dir.: Ralf Huettner
| 96 minutes
