Recently, a number of films have emerged that depict Tourette Syndrome faithfully and expressively, such as Different is the New Normal<\/a><\/strong> and the short films in the beloved @RANDOM<\/a><\/strong> series. It comes as no surprise that these are all documentaries, with real subjects. Representing TS in a work of fiction is either very challenging, or else highly exploitative, often relying on coprolalia and little else.<\/p>\n

Enter the brand new short film Perfect<\/i>. It\u2019s both fictional, funny, and a fair portrayal of TS Plus. Not only that, it\u2019s Canadian! Perfect<\/i> is the brainchild of filmmaker Karim Ayari of Ottawa, Ontario, who has Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive-compulsive Disorder himself. You can see an interview with Karim along with more details about the film here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Karim\u2019s film is in competition in the CBC show Short Film Face-off<\/i><\/a><\/strong>, and it was broadcast nationally in Canada on August 17.<\/b> In the meantime, you can see Perfect<\/i> in its entirety here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We wish Perfect <\/i>all the best at the competition, where it will vie with other films for the top prize, with the winner being announced on September 7.<\/p>\n
