Programme Description

 

We are going to hold a special screening of 'Life, Animated' at Black Box Theatre, JCCAC. This screening is suitable for individuals with autistic features or intellectual disabilities (Users from rehabilitation organisations).

 

Synopsis

 

At three years old, a chatty, energetic little boy named Owen Suskind ceased to speak, disappearing into autism with apparently no way out. Almost four years passed and the only stimuli that engaged Owen were Disney films. Then one day, his father donned a puppet—lago, the wisecracking parrot from Aladdin—and asked, “What’s it like to be you?” And poof! Owen replied, with dialogue from the movie. Life, Animated tells the remarkable story of how Owen found in Disney animation a pathway to language and a framework for making sense of the world. Winner of Sundance Film Festival – Directing Award (Documentary) and Oscar nominee for Best Documentary.
