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. Oska Bright Film Festival puts people with learning disabilities or autism where they should be, on the big screen. Just under 700 films were submitted from 55 countries. This year at our festival we’ll be screening 80 films from around the world.
Relaxed Events
Relaxed Events are designed for people with autism spectrum conditions and their families so they can enjoy the arts together in a stress-free environment. These events are also suitable for people with sensory conditions, dementia or learning difficulties.
Relaxed Screenings take place every week in our cinemas and include:
Cinema lights on low
Film volume turned down a little
No trailers or advertisements before the film starts
You can move in and out of the cinema
