DISPELLING MYTHS
ABOUT DISABILITY
Monday, September 19th, 2016
Presented out of competition as one of the special screenings in the O fficial Section, Vivir y otras ficciones is a low-budget film that aims to make the audience reflect on the concept of normality.
The film tells the story of the friendship between two men: Pepe, who has just been released from a psychiatric hospital after completing his sentence for theft, and is desperate to fit into
“normality”, and Antonio, a tetraplegic writer, who fights for the right to access his own body and for the sexuality of people with functional diversity.
The director Jo Sol revealed that the subject has scandalised certain sectors of society but that it was an issue had to be raised. Antonio Centeno plays a character that he shares a lot of things with and stressed that he wasn’t an actor and that he would never have dared to appear in a film about any other subject, but that this was a story that reflected their struggle to claim their rights.
He also said that there were a lot of myths about disability: “We are considered to be di fferent from socalled normal people and are dismissed as being dependent as if other people weren’t; we all need other people. This type of discourse merely aims to justify inequality”
