Inside the Little Plastic Castle

The New York Times has now published four of James Morrison’s short films on the lived experience of disability.

I Have Face Blindness. This Is How I Recognize You features Paul Kram. He discusses how people sometimes assign negative moral value to his not recognizing their faces. He explains how he systematically notes and uses non-facial information.

Morrison’s filmmaking is so effective: by showing many well-known faces upside-down, I’m dislocated from my familiar visual world. My favorite is he notes the delightful coincidence that prosopagnosia and faceblindness are both 11 letters long!
