Berg, Susanne
- Abstract
The author reflects on the decision of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) not to screen a working copy of Richard Butchins' documentary film "The Last American Freak Show" at the eighth London disability film festival in England. He cites that the film is about an underground troupe of disabled and non-disabled performers traveling along the U.S. west coast, performing in the style of the early 20th freak show. He comments on the suggestion of BAFTA to replace the film with the comedy film "Lars and the Real Girl."
