In this presentation I would like to investigate how disability is portrayed in films and look at the psychological implications of such portrayal on the dynamics of the society. I would like to discuss why it is important that film industry stops exploiting disability for shock and comedy value. First, I will present data provided by UNESCO and University of Southern California researchers which give statistical insight into the inequality permeating the film industry. Then, I will look at how disability has been portrayed in films over time, starting with Freaks (1932) until to-date. Finally, I will talk about the psychology of prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination and how it applies to representation of disability in film. With this presentation, I hope to start a conversation about the issue and explain how and why people with disabilities have to reclaim their status in the film industry.
