Outside In is Stephen Dwoskin's third film for German television and again disability is the central concern. He describes it as "a combination of memories from the visual diary of a disabled person seen from his point of view: the visual impression left during his process of integration into the so-called able-bodied society over twenty-odd years of adulthood, transformed into visual metaphors. Fuelled by his recurring surprise and frustration at seeming, and sometimes being, 'different,' the film weaves a tapestry of situations, reflections and dreams out of strands of comedy, fantasy, surrealism and the black thread of the grotesque. The filmmaker himself is the disabled subject through whose memories we travel. Our perspective shifts constantly: from spectator to actor, from able-bodied assumptions to manifested disability, from the mind in which the body is trivial to the body where the trivial is vital." Outside In has been critically acclaimed when shown in Germany, France and Britain. "The most directly seducing, sensual film shown at Film International...Outside In moves human passions one degree further to the most intimate of being..."(Louis Marcorelles, Le Monde). "Some very excited French critics are comparing Dwoskin to Straub, but that's an exaggeration; Dwoskin's films are better, for they begin and end in the real world, not the fine art world, which (Outside In) takes in its stride. It's a rich, rare film" (Raymond Durgnat, films).
