A pick n mix of some of the highlights from this year’s Oska Bright Film Festival will be screened at London’s Barbican.
With less than 5% of disabled people working in the UK film industry, Oska Bright Film Festival is driven to make change happen, showing films made by or featuring people with learning disabilities or autism.
Working internationally with industry partners and funded by the BFI, the Oska team produces the BAFTA and BIFA qualifying Oska Bright Film Festival, promoting accessible screenings, running training for venues and developing skills for aspiring filmmakers.
There will be an opportunity to see the highlights from 11 of the films being screened at the main festival event in Brighton (March 11-17) at the Barbican on March 11.
