This short documentary aims to explain some of the basics of the disease and treatment but also provide context with examples from three families across the globe showing that there is life after this terrible diagnosis. And that life is more joyful and hopeful than you might expect.

List of the first achievements in cinema
\n

This page lists chronologically the first achievements in cinema. The development of cinema is characterised by technological breakthroughs, from early experiments in the recording of day-to-day activity, experiments in colour, different formats and sound. From the 1970s, the development of computer-generated imagery became integral to the way that films are produced.\n

In parallel with the developments in technology, its content and the way it reflects society and its concerns and the way society responds to it have changed too. The list attempts to address some of these events.\n

1824[edit]

\n
  • Peter Mark Roget's wrote the article Explanation of an optical deception in the appearance of the spokes of a wheel when seen through vertical apertures which described a stroboscopic illusion.
\n

1832[edit]

\n
  • Almost simultaneously, around December 1832, the Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau and the Austrian professor of practical geometry Simon Stampfer invented the Phenakistiscope, the first practical device to create a fluid illusion of motion. Plateau introduced the device in January 1833 in a scientific magazine.
\n

1870s[edit]

\n

1874[edit]

\n
  • French astronomer P.J.C. Janssen came up with the idea for a \"revolver photographic\". This huge camera system used a Maltese cross-type mechanism, very similar to the system that would later be of great importance in the development of movie cameras. Janssen successfully captured two transits of Venus, the one of 1874 in Japan, and that of 1882 at Oran, in Algeria. Discs with test footage of a simulation from 1874 have been preserved and a modern animated version is sometimes regarded as the first movie.[1]

1880s[edit]

\n

1880[edit]

\n
  • During his lectures on locomotion, Eadweard Muybridge projected looping animations of The Horse in Motion with his Zoopraxiscope. The stroboscopic apparatus used glass discs on which silhouette versions of the photographs had been traced by an artist (with anamorphic corrections for the distortion caused by fast rotation).
\n

1882[edit]

\n
  • \u00c9tienne-Jules Marey developed the Chronophotographe, which could take 12 pictures per second from a single viewpoint.

  • Dickson Greeting, by William Kennedy Dickson was the first semi-public demonstration of cinematographic pictures in the United States. The National Federation of Women's Clubs were shown a 3 second clip of Dickson passing a hat in front of himself, and reaching for it with his other hand on May 20, 1891 at Edison's laboratory.

  • Blacksmith Scene, by William Kennedy Dickson. The first Kinetoscope film shown in public exhibition on May 9, 1893 and is the earliest known example of actors performing a role in a film.[4]
    • \n
  • The world's first film production studio, the Black Maria, or the Kinetographic Theater, was completed on the grounds of Edison's laboratories at West Orange, New Jersey, for the purpose of making film strips for the Kinetoscope. Construction began in December 1892.[5]
\n

1894[edit]

\n
  • On April 14, 1894, a public Kinetoscope parlor was opened by the Holland Bros. in New York City at 1155 Broadway, on the corner of 27th Street\u2014the first commercial motion picture house. The venue had ten machines, set up in parallel rows of five, each showing a different movie. For 25 cents a viewer could see all the films in either row; half a dollar gave access to the entire bill.[6]
    • \n
  • The Dolorita Passion Dance was banned in New Jersey after its use in peepshows. Russell Kick quotes the work Censorship as saying it \"was probably the first [film] to be banned in the United States.\"[7]
    • \n
  • La Sortie des Usines, the first film to be made in France.
    • \n
  • The Dickson Experimental Sound Film by William Kennedy Dickson. It is the first known film with live-recorded sound and appears to be the first motion picture made for the Kinetophone, the proto-sound-film system developed by Dickson and Thomas Edison.[8]

  • The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first wide-release film to be shot using a high frame rate. Cinematographer Andrew Lesnie shot the film using 48 frames per second, twice the usual 24 frames per second.[134] However, few cinemas were capable of showing the high frame rate version of the film - at most 1,000 screens out of the 39,056 showing it in the United States - and most showed it in the ordinary frame rate. The reason for this increased frame rate was to make the 3D easier to watch, as well as remove camera blur, and increase clarity.[135]

  • The Suicide Squad is the first non-Marvel Studios film ever released to be shot entirely with IMAX-certified digital cameras. Although Top Gun: Maverick and Dune had both accomplished the same feat and had finished filming earlier, The Suicide Squad was released first, on August 5, after the releases of the other two were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was shot with the Red Ranger Monstro 8K & Komodo 6K cameras. The film was also the first feature film to use the Red Komodo camera.[149]
    • \n
  • The Tomorrow War is the first streaming original film to cost at least $200 million to produce. The film was originally set for theatrical release by Paramount Pictures, but the film's distribution rights were ultimately acquired by Amazon due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[150] Four months later, Red Notice was also released under similar circumstances and cost, on Netflix. As of early 2022, The Gray Man is set become the first streaming original to cost at least $200 million that was originally intended as a streaming original, once it releases in July 2022.[151]

This is a list of movies about rare diseases and disorders. The movies below are linked to wherever I could find the movies – Netflix, YouTube, Amazon. \u00a0I tried to provide the free version whenever possible. If you find a better link than what we have here, please let us know in the comments and I’ll update this post (same goes for movies that should be in this list!).

\n

Also! Don’t forget: the US library carries movies and will accept requests for movies. If you want to watch something listed below, but can’t rent, buy or find it for free, request it from your local library!

\n

As you watch these movies, please keep in mind that there is not a lot of disability representation in these movies. Most of these actors are non-disabled, and this is problem in our disability community. The movies may also be inaccurate with regard to the disability. Keep that as fodder for discussion and learning.

\n

Rare Diseases and Disorders:

\n

February largely features rare diseases and disorders in terms of Disability Awareness focus:

\n\n

This being so, \u00a0we’ve collected books and movies about rare diseases and disorders to read and learn more.\u00a0

\n

Also:

\n\n

Movies on Rare Diseases that You Might Be Interested in Watching:

\n

Mask

\n

The story of a boy who has craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, an extremely rare disorder. This is a fantastic movie that has it all: fierce mom, alternative living, fighting with the school for inclusion and more. A must-see. You can watch it on Netflix DVD (not streaming, unfortunately), and on Amazon. I couldn’t find it on YouTube either. Request it from your library if they don’t have it: this is a classic.

\n

The Mighty

\n

A movie about the friendship between two boys, one of whom has\u00a0Morquio syndrome.\u00a0Rent it on YouTube for $2.99 and it’s available on Netflix DVD (not streaming in America though).

\n

The Life We Live

\n

A full free documentary that is not captioned about a family with daughters who have NUBPL.

\n

Unrest

\n

A Netflix original (so only available on Netflix streaming) about chronic illness, ME.

\n

We discussed it in our Disability Movie Club.

\n

The Tic Code

\n

A movie about friendship, love and Tourette’s! It’s available on Netflix DVD (not streaming),and Amazon – I couldn’t find the full movie on YouTube, sorry.

\n

Brain on Fire

\n

A Netflix original movie (so, only available on Netflix streaming) about a woman who is eventually diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis) \u2013 We\u2019re discussing this February 28th (information linked here).

\n

The Elephant Man

\n

A film \u00a0about a man who lived in the late 1800’s who most likely had Proteus Syndrome. Also available on Netflix DVD, $2.99 rental on YouTube, and there is also a free QED documentary about the real man on YouTube.

\n

Love & Other Drugs

\n

A movie about a woman with Parkinson’s who falls in love with a drug company representative. It’s available on Netflix DVD (not streaming) and Amazon.

\n

Afflicted – a Netflix series about people who have chronic illnesses – got slammed in HuffPost. That something is hated by us in the disability community isn’t necessarily a reason to not watch a movie (- Million Dollar Baby comes to mind); it could be fodder for some great discussions. So keep the door open and walk through it \u00a0knowing that this series is hated by a lot of people with chronic illnesses.

\n

Lorenzo’s Oil

\n

The story of parents search to find treatment for their son Lorenzo’s\u00a0adrenoleukodystrophy\u00a0(ALD), a deadly genetic disease. It’s available for rent ($3.99) on YouTube, on Amazon, and Netflix DVD and streaming.

\n

The King’s Speech

\n

The true story of King George and his stuttering (is stuttering really a rare disease? I’m not sure, but it seems rare enough to include here…please correct if wrong!). You can watch it on Netflix DVD \u00a0and streaming (linked below), and on Amazon. Your local library is likely to have it, too, as it’s recent (but not brand new!)

\n

The Boy in the Plastic Bubble

\n

Early (pre-Grease) John Travolta! This is the story of a boy born without an immune system and his reach for love with the girl next door. You can watch it on Netflix DVD, and on Amazon.

\n

Bubble Boy

\n

Inspired by the Boy in the Plastic Bubble (see previous movie), and written by the same authors. It’s about a boy born without an immune system who builds a protective bubble for himself so he can chase his love across the country and win her. You can watch it on Netflix DVD, and on Amazon.\u00a0

\n

There We Go: The Movies About Rare Diseases and Disorders

\n

That completes the list right now. Please drop a comment with a better way to watch a movie (free is great!) or movies about rare diseases and disorders that you recommend. We want to keep this list growing, relevant, informative and awesome.

\n

Books About Rare Diseases\u00a0

\n

Rare diseases and disorders are something we’re always interested in learning more about.

\n

These books will help to shed light on some aspects of a few rare diseases

Also, don’t forget to join the Disability Book and Movie Club on Facebook for more discussion.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]My friend Maegan got me hooked on the Gilmore Girls. It’s honestly pretty incredible that I somehow went through the 00’s and never watched it. Like, NEVER. Never, ever, ever. There are two reasons why I never watched it: The spacing between Lauren Graham’s nose and mouth bothered me I didn’t like the font used…

I’m an enormous Wonder Woman fan. So much so that for as long as I remember, it’s been the go-to for most people I know who want to give me something (Meriah’s birthday? Oh, hey!

This is about the Japanese movie, 37 Seconds, that is currently on Netflix. There are a few spoilers in this review. My friend Mellanie sent me a message the other day, asking if I’d ever seen 37 Seconds. I scuttled over and watched it, pronto. Here’s the preview: 37 Seconds Movies that truly to seem…

    1) Rare. A documentary that has important insight into how parent advocacy is central to the development of clinical trials. It also highlights the importance of networks and simply being in community with people who share the same struggle. http://icarusfilms.com/if-rare?fbclid=IwAR3SKoG90cRdOl_u0UouZeMXezCGAndl2_jVXbQPFKnzgNEYIzewlkp_GVQ
