Crip Cinema Archive is documenting disability on screen.

The archive defines ‘crip cinema’ as films that speak to something about the crip experience, speak to crip audiences, or that have a crip writer, director, or lead actor.

Crip cinema has a fraught history – one of stereotypes, omissions, and repression. We have a few goals for this project:

• To create a resource for disabled filmmakers and film lovers seeking out crip cinema.
• To be a launching pad for further discussions about how to define crip cinema; what it is, what it isn’t, and what it could be.
• To imagine better crip film futures – in front of and behind the lens – and make them a reality.
