The Tallest Dwarf Screening & Dance Workshop
Join GPB, Fulton County Arts & Culture, and Fulton County Library for a screening of The Tallest Dwarf. Following the film, we will engage in a short activity related to the film’s themes.
12 p.m.
The Tallest Dwarf follows filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman as she searches for her place in the little people community and unpacks rumors of dwarfism in her own family. Through intimate stories, creative collaborations, and archival history, the film delves into identity and medicine, asking whether society should change people or the structures that limit them.
Following the screening, dancer/choreographer EC Fajardo (@e.c.doesit on Instagram) will lead a body movement exploration similar to the ones seen in the film, in an effort to improve mobility and enhance mind-body awareness. Light music will be played and some rhythm will be taught, but no prior experience is required!
This program is made possible by a grant from ITVS for Indie Lens Pop-up.
