Details

Join for the first-ever West Coast screening of select short films by multiple award winner Shelley Barry. Barry will be screening and speaking about her films, including her trilogy "Whole: A Trinity of Being" (2004) and the lockdown-produced "Camera in my Lap" (2022) which engage disability-centered filmmaking practices to interrogate queerness, sexuality, race, and disability in the Global South. This is a unique opportunity to share an evening with an internationally-recognized filmmaker and activist working at the intersection of narrative and conceptual storytelling, sociocultural critique, disability justice activism, and cultural production.
