Next @ disTHIS! November 18: GABY: A TRUE STORY!
By popular demand, we’ve unearthed another “lost classic” that hasn't been seen in over 20 years. Never released on DVD -- we're pleased to bring the disTHIS! faithful a one-time screening of a seldom seen film much beloved by disability scholars, advocates and cinemaphiles alike, GABY: A TRUE STORY.
Two years before MY LEFT FOOT garnered critical international acclaim there was GABY -- a film which covers much the same ground as the Daniel Day Lewis film but from a disabled woman’s perspective.
GABY chronicles the early life story of Gabriela Brimmer, the daughter of rich European holocaust survivors transplanted to Mexico. The movie chronicles Brimmer’s life with cerebral palsy and how she battled prejudice to become an acclaimed author and advocate. GABY excels on many levels especially its candid examination of Brimmer’s cheeky humor and budding sexuality. Rachel Levin won acclaim in the title role and Norma Aleandro received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1987.
See it while you can - on the big screen like it was intended. disTHIS! print features an additional 5 minutes not shown in theatres!
Date: Wednesday, November 18th. Doors open at 6:30pm. Screening begins promptly at 7. Refreshments will be served.
NEW location: 5 Washington Place, Room 101 (Ground Floor). East of Washington Square Park on the North side of the street. West of Broadway.
Suggested donation: $5
Screenings are regularly filled to capacity. To RSVP and secure YOUR seat, please email: disTHIS@dnnyc.net
ABOUT US: The disTHIS! Film Series: disability through a whole new lens, a program of the Disabilities Network of New York City in partnership with the NYU Council for the Study of Disability, began in April 2006 to showcase festival quality, cutting edge short, documentary, feature and experimental films that offer ground-breaking interpretations of the disability experience beyond "movie of the week" cliches. disTHIS! moved to the NYU campus in February 2009.
Acclaimed by film lovers with and without disabilities, disTHIS! has been featured in Disability Studies Quarterly, the Tribeca Trib, the New York Nonprofit Press, Able News and the New York Times Sunday Style section (above the fold!) for presenting quality disability cinema with the promise of "No handkerchief necessary, no heroism required!" disTHIS! films are frequently funny (and meant to be), remarkably sexy (just like our audiences), often controversial (because we like that sort of thing).
Always provocative; never quite what audiences expect. Monthly screenings are followed by audience “talk-backs” and regular appearances by filmmakers, actors and other guests.
Throughout our history, we've teamed with Film Comment, the BBC, IFC, and MTV, among others, to bring audiences the cutting edge of disability-themed cinema and television.
disTHIS! is made possible by our partners at NYU's Council for the Study of Disability and with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, and the generous support of the Fund for the City of New York, the Screen Actors Guild, the NYU Community Fund and our members.
