$Crip Your Heart Out + Q&A - Physical Community Screening\/\/ MIX CPH 2024$ Need a dose of cinema therapy? We prescribe seven tales of requited queer love! Rejoice in close friendships, good sex, meet cutes, and romance ever after. In each story disability is present not as a tragedy, but a fact of life comparable to being LGBTQIA+. Disability is, after all, overrepresented among queers, and most of us will become 'crip' as we age.
About the community screening: As cinema rooms are often not accessible to people from the disabled or neurodivergent community, we are this year holding two community screenings for our short film program ‘Crip your heart Out’ outside of the cinema rooms. One screening will be held in person at Ungdommens Demokratiehus and another one as an online watch party. The community screenings are events dedicated to the disabled/neurodivergent community as well as queers and allies where we build bridges and test accessibility. So come and join us outside of the cinema rooms to watch this exiting program together!
We will host a Q&A with Rosanagh Griffiths, director of Dope Fiend after the screening.
