Please note: There is limited wheelchair seating in the PFA theater, however every effort will be made to accommodate all who attend. Weirded Out and Blown Away Weirded Out and Blown Away challenges our attitudes toward physical disability or difference--not simply our negative attitudes, but society's penchant for misrepresenting disabled people as heroes and models of performance while ignoring everyday realities. Sharon Greytak, a filmmaker whose short films have garnered her acclaim at many international film festivals, is herself wheelchair bound since childhood. In her first feature-length documentary, Greytak attempts to uncover the lesser-known experiences and perspectives of disabled people in interviews with herself and four other career people who have handicapping conditions (writer Anne Finger, painter Mark Gash, actor Clark Middleton, and psychotherapist Harilyn Rousso), and who share their understanding of the socio-political position of life with a disability. Greytak's focus is not on how they have "triumphed over" their conditions, but on a thoughtful exploration of contemporary life issues, of personal relationships, professional image vs. physical image, of being more or less vulnerable in the streets, of how fashion interacts with society's impression of the disabled. Certainly Weirded Out and Blown Away makes clear the common ground shared by both disabled and non-disabled people.
