Selome Hailu’s video essay “Disability and the New Cinema of the Body” points to two recent films, Shannon Murphy’s Babyteeth and Pedro Almodóvar’s Pain and Glory, as two works that give voice and space to characters that are marginalized in society due to disease and disability. In her reading, film offers a chance for audiences to see individuals with disabilities not simply as people trying to survive, but rather people with rich, full lives that are underserved by the non-accommodating societies in which they live.
