Dear all,
For anyone who may be interested in ethnographic film, I thought it might
be a good idea to post this up. Below are links to the Times, Guardian
and Independent reports about Bafta’s refusal to show ‘The Last American
Freak Show’, a documentary road-film about people with disabilities made
by a disabled film maker. Bafta’s head of events, Corinna Downing found
it too
‘uncomfortable’ to watch and opted instead to show a film made by a
non-disabled film maker about falling in love with a blow-up doll. There
is also a link to the film site and the blog about the film. Finally
there is a link to a youtube trailer for the film.
