Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms III: 'Behindert', 'Crip Time', and 'Hand Model' with an introductory lecture by David Gissen
Don't miss the chance to attend the screening of Stephen Dwoskin's acclaimed masterpiece 'Behindert', accompanied by an introductory lecture and Q&A led by architect and theorist David Gissen.
With its fragmentary imagery, amateurish charm and balanced use of close-ups, Stephen Dwoskin has provided 'Behindert' with a film language that is both curious and close to the body, quivering between warm ecstasy and cold sobriety, documentary home video and staged fiction. 'Behindert' is not only a unique representation of a love relationship seen from a disability perspective but also a work that destabilizes the dominant film historical representation of human intimacy; a film imbued with a deep fascination with the face's subtle grimacing and the body's subtle reaction patterns.
The film is introduced by the renowned American architecture theorist David Gissen; it is the third chapter in the film series 'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms', which examines the intersection between disability, film and architecture.

'Disabled Lives, Disabling Forms' Film Program
A two-day program of experimental documentary films – all created by filmmakers, representing their experiences of impairment. In addition to documenting disability at home and within urban spaces, these works also disable the aesthetic character of film by challenging the conventional relationships between imagery, sound, and point of view in an effort to capture the sentiment of impairment.
