Brazilian documentary filmmaker Daniel Gonçalves and his editing partner looked for other films exploring the topic of sexuality and disability, but they couldn’t find any, so they made their own. “Acsexybility” is Gonçalves’ second feature-length documentary and focuses on deconstructing the stereotypes that people with disabilities are asexual. The film is being screened as part of the 31st San Diego Latino Film Festival this year at 4:45 p.m. today at the AMC Mission Valley.
When people don’t see themselves in media, they don’t see themselves in the sex ed conversations that are happening , then they don’t have the words, the language, the skill set to talk about needs and desires. It is especially true for disabled, neurodivergent people, and even more so for folks who are at those intersections of, say, queerness and disability, or transness and neurodivergence, where we just don’t talk about these things at all, despite there being a huge amount of overlap.
