Disability on Film
A talk which reflects on the history of disability on screen, illustrated by a range of powerful clips.
The relationship between disability and cinema is longstanding and, in this talk, Théo Rogier of the Cinema Education Team, draws on film scholarship and lived experience as a wheelchair user to explore how disability is represented on screen. Beginning with ‘Freaks’ (1932) and concluding with ‘Untouchable’ (2011), a celebrated portrait of friendship and care across class and ability, this talk invites audiences to reconsider disability, not as marginal but as central to film’s cultural legacy.
