EVENT TO FEATURE SCREENING AND MODERATED DISCUSSION FOLLOWING THE FILM.

Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS, Idaho Humanities Council, and Magic Valley Arts Council will host a screening of “The Tallest Dwarf,” featuring a moderated community discussion following the film. Directed, written, and produced by Julie Forrest Wyman, Jonna McKone, Lindsey Dryden, and Shaleece Haas.

The Tallest Dwarf follows filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman as she searches for her place in the little people community and unpacks rumors of dwarfism in her own family. Through intimate stories, creative collaborations, and archival history, the film delves into identity and medicine, asking whether society should change people or the structures that limit them.
