Midwest Film Festival's (MFF) June First Tuesdays event will feature Salome Chasnoff's CODE OF THE FREAKS. This documentary challenges the realism of Hollywood's portrayals of disabled people throughout decades of western filmmaking. 

On June 7th we hope you will join us for an important conversation and examination. The feature film will be accompanied by the short, BEYOND DISABILITY: THE FE FE STORIES, plus a special tribute to writer-producer Susan Nussbaum.

The event will begin at 7:00 pm for a social hour, following an 8:00 pm screening and Q&A with members of the production team. MFF is very proud to host this Midwest Premiere.

The film's North American Distributor is Kino Lorber and the International distributor is Reservoir Docs.

Open Captions and Audio Description services will be available for the screenings. 
American Sign Language and Real-Time captioning will be present for the Intro and Q & A.
