📖 Fiction stories challenging stereotypes

The session opens with a collective work from Posa’t a la nostra pell (4 min), created by social organizations connected to disability. It continues with six international fiction short films offering varied perspectives.

The program features Tres Mans (Cristian Sitjas), depicting a mother and son with cerebral palsy facing an intimate need; Dopamina Zero (Rodrigo Marini), exploring how Parkinson's impacts a relationship; and The Decision (Cory Thibert), which asserts bodily autonomy in the face of medical studies.

The showcase also includes Chapter 21 (Katie Stoneburner & Ellen Burling), focusing on an expectant couple learning their child has Down syndrome; A Different and Preferable Thing (Emily Muller), humorously challenging inspiration tropes around muscular dystrophy; and La Réparation (Janek Tarkowski), celebrating pride and labor inclusion.
