5 College Film Festival in Documentary:
Accessing The Invisible

Drawing on the work of disability filmmaker Jordan Lord whose work explores various dimensions of accessibility and reflects on the relationship between showing and telling in filmmaking, we were interested in creating a video with access features that allowed internal states to be made audible. By leveraging access through three modes: co-authorship within the interview form (providing interviewee with a camera), self-narrated invisible descriptions of internal states, and animated representations of embodied mental states that disable the spectator, our film explores cinematic process and expressive mode that provides access intimacy for people with invisible disabilities. By doing this we created a film that provides greater access between interviewer, interviewee, and audience as co-conspirators in a project making visible invisible disabilities.
