The documentary film ‘Totally Disabled’ shows a film crew from Videoaktiv e.V. and a group of nine severely multiply disabled people embarking on an exciting journey. In their five-week joint film workshop, they experience strangeness and uncertainty, but they also discover new ways of interacting with each other. With touching sensitivity and a great deal of fun, the film gives us an insight into the lives and actions of people with severe multiple disabilities. Unusual camera angles are incorporated into the clear documentary images, sounds and noises become music, and many experiments give rise to short improvised scenes and even a short feature film. ‘Totally Disabled’ is a documentary that asks socially critical questions and offers concrete suggestions for rethinking issues of self-determination and personal development. Above all, however, the film offers the people it portrays opportunities to present themselves. And so it is more a film by than a film about people with severe and multiple disabilities – an invitation to come together.
It is the first documentary film made by and with people with severe disabilities. The people with severe disabilities take on the directing themselves... The documentary film repeatedly questions the joint work in a self-critical and socially critical manner, without, however, pointing the finger.
‘The most intense moments are always when you can recognise their own will and we can help them to realise it,’ filmmaker Elgeti has learned.
