Film Screenings: Moving Towards Disability Inclusivity

Moving image continues to champion and visualise the lived individual and collective experience of sickness and disability which often start from the self. In these films, we encounter intimate and vulnerable moments of living in and around a crip life. Carolyn Lazard’s Crip Time engages in the invisible, additional labour that comes with sickness, and in Djofray Makumbu's short titled Cover, he creates an animation of interviews he conducted with a group of young people with disabilities allowing them to tell their own stories. In It’s Personal, artists and friend duo Kyla Harris and Lou Macnamara give a refreshing personal perspective on the global care crisis. Leah Clements’s Collapse is a film work formed from the voices of people who fall asleep in times of stress, anxiety, or danger and Lizzy Rose’s mystical Journey to film a ruin links Rose’s key interests: chronic illness, communities as bodies and overlooked spaces.
