\n

The Crip Cin\u00e9 series sets rigid perceptions of disability in motion. The feature film of Crip Cin\u00e9 2024 is the documentary The Ride Ahead<\/em>, which depicts a young man\u2019s journey towards living a life on his own terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crip Cin\u00e9, which was honoured in 2023 with the Kunnia-Vimma honorary mention by the disability rights organisation The Treshold Association (Kynnys ry), returns this year. The feature film of the theme is The Ride Ahead<\/em>, directed by father-son duo Samuel<\/strong> and Dan Habib<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The documentary The Ride Ahead<\/em> is a festival hit, chronicling a young man\u2019s journey towards adulthood and a self-determined life. In the film, Samuel, who uses an electric wheelchair and lives with a rare GNAO1 gene mutation, embarks on a journey across the United States to interview people with various disabilities. The conversations that Samuel has during his journey, about sexuality, identity, ableism, and starting a family, profoundly impact the young man\u2019s life \u2013 and probably viewers\u2019 too.<\/p>\n

In addition to the feature film, Crip Cin\u00e9 2024 will screen nine other films, whose stories encourage new ways of thinking about disability. The series includes films that, for example, set rigid perceptions of disability in motion (as in the Crip Cin\u00e9 in Motion<\/em> short film screening), explore the grey areas of definitions (as in the film Simon of the Mountain<\/em>, which won the Critics’ Week Grand Prize at Cannes), and heat things up (as in the film Acsexybility<\/em>). The selection of Crip Cin\u00e9 films has been aided by a directing team consisting of Sanni Myllyaho<\/strong>, Sanni Purhonen<\/strong>, Pinja Eskola<\/strong>, and Peppi Santaniemi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the films, disability will also be a topic of discussion at the festival. On Monday, 26 August, after the Crip Cin\u00e9 in Motion screening, there will be a discussion with the filmmakers at Kino Regina. And, on Wednesday, 28 August, Daniel Con\u00e7alves’s<\/strong> film Acsexybility<\/em> will serve as a catalyst for a broader discussion around sexuality and people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
