 Code of the Freaks (Salome Chasnoff, 2020, 68 min.)

Taking its title from Tod Browning’s classic film, this radical reframing of how characters with disabilities are represented looks at a century of Hollywood favorites with a fresh perspective. Disability activists imagine a cinematic landscape that takes people with disabilities seriously.

Post-screening discussion with director Salome Chasnoff; writer Alyson Patsavas; cinematographer and editor Jerzy Rose; and disability activist Lawrence Carter-Long.

In collaboration with ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York, a showcase of award-winning films by and about people with disabilities.
