Oska Bright Animation Showcase (15)
Join us for a special curated screening from Oska Bright Film Festival, the world’s leading festival for films made by or featuring people with learning disabilities or autism
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, their team promotes accessible screenings, runs training for venues and develops skills for aspiring filmmakers. Oska Bright Film Festival puts people with learning disabilities or autism where they should be, on the big screen.
The festival is managed, programmed and delivered by a team of 10 learning disabled artists. The artists select from hundreds of submissions over the course of three months. The team is led by Matthew Hellett, Oska Bright’s Lead Programmer, a role he took on after being part of the prestigious Guiding Lights scheme in 17/18, the UK film industry’s leading mentoring programme. Matthew was mentored by Emma Smart, programmer at BFI Flare Festival. As part of this role he introduced a new strand in to the festival, ‘Queer Freedom’.
