Teaneck International Film Festival Indie Lens Pop-Up Free At-Home Screening of “The Tallest Dwarf”

Virtual Event

March 25 @ 7:30 pm 11:59 pm

Teaneck International Film Festival Indie Lens Pop Up Series Present "The Tallest Dwarf" Free At-Home Virtual Screening

Free At-Home Screening of “The Tallest Dwarf” Offered Through Teaneck International Film Festival Series

The Teaneck International Film Festival’s Indie Lens Pop-Up series will present a free at-home screening of the documentary “The Tallest Dwarf” on Wednesday, March 25.

The film follows filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman as she explores dwarfism in her own family and searches for a sense of belonging within the little people community. Through personal stories, conversations with other little people, and historical context, the film examines changing attitudes toward disability, medical intervention, and society’s understanding of physical difference.

Along the way, Wyman connects with dwarf artists who use performance and creative collaboration to challenge stereotypes and reclaim their narratives. The film blends personal reflection, community stories, and discussions about culture, science, and representation.

The screening is part of the Teaneck International Film Festival’s (TIFF) Indie Lens Pop-Up series, presented in partnership with PBS, Indie Lens Pop-Up, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd. The program brings residents, community leaders, and local organizations together to take part in conversations about timely social issues and shared experiences.

How to Watch 

Viewers can watch “The Tallest Dwarf” at home on demand any time between 7:30 pm and midnight on Wednesday, March 25. The screening is free, but advance registration is required to receive the viewing link.

A TIFF talkback with filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman will take place immediately following the screening.
