Oska Bright's Animation Strand is back and better than ever, with a huge range of styles and themes. Watch out for a paper cut-out that comes to life, bubble baths, and miniature model wonderlands.
With less than 5% of disabled people working in the UK film industry, Oska Bright Film Festival is driven to make change happen. Working internationally with industry partners and funded by the BFI, our team produces the BAFTA and BIFA qualifying Oska Bright Film Festival, promotes accessible screenings, runs training for venues and develops skills for aspiring filmmakers.
We are delighted to be joined for an introduction by filmmakers Harry G. Mead and Cameron Carr.
Oska Bright Film Festival puts people with learning disabilities or autism where they should be, on the big screen.
