Film
Only 5% of people working in the UK film industry have a disability. Our film programme, Oska Bright, is working to make change happen.
Working internationally with industry partners and funded by the BFI, our team produces the BAFTA-qualifying Oska Bright Film Festival, promotes accessible screenings, runs training for venues and develops skills for aspiring filmmakers.

“Collaborations with Oska Bright recognise the power of film to create change and highlight injustices and inequalities within the industry and society as a whole.” - Rich Warren, Encounters Film Festival
