Images of Disability. Literature, Scenic, Visual, and Virtual Arts / Imágenes de la diversidad funcional. Literatura, artes escénicas, visuales y virtuales – serie

How do people with and without disabilities work together in the artistic process? This volume is a compilation of 14 interviews with directors and producers of European feature films that enriches the understanding of interabled dynamics in creative ventures. It highlights the work of actors with learning disabilities, along with, behind the scenes knowledge of the casting process, training methods, brainstorming sessions to incorporate their inputs, production process, unforeseen challenges that they encounter on sets and the critical and audience reception of the film. It is also an attempt to explore if such films could be categorised as belonging to the ‘inclusive films’ genre. The volume concludes with reflections on the limits and possibilities of artistic expression offered by theatre and films to the people with learning disabilities.
