THE FILM
The Tallest Dwarf
Julie Forrest Wyman | 2025 | US | 93 mins
The Tallest Dwarf charts filmmaker Julie Wyman’s quest to find her place within the little people (LP) community at a moment when dwarf identity is poised to radically change. As Julie unpacks the rumors of “partial dwarfism” in her family she finds that hers is the last of a body type she has inherited. She joins forces with a group of dwarf artists to confront the legacy of being fetishized and put on display. Together they create films that reclaim a complicated history and speak back to the echoes of eugenics in the newly emerging pharmaceutical interventions that make little people taller. Through its personal and expanding perspective, the film invites audiences to a new way of seeing. Presented in partnership with ReelAbilities.
Presented with Open Captions and Audio Description. ASL/ CART provided during the post-screening Q&A Talkback.
