Instead of selecting films from recent disability film production - the authors of which are mostly artists with disabilities, and which, while dealing with specific disability-related issues, often experiment with different possibilities in the very approach to the film as form - the Extravagant Bodies film program focuses on the ways in which more mainstream film production has dealt with the phenomenon of invalidity, monstrosity, difference, the relation between the body and the world, the boundaries of the skin and screen, and perception of the different body as object but also as a fetishized object.
