Pivot Fest - Oska Bright: Best of the Fest Film Screening

The screening packs a punch and offers a brilliant way to experience a wide range of films while celebrating Oska Bright Film Festival. With fewer than 5% of disabled people working in the UK film industry, Oska Bright Film Festival works to change this by creating opportunities, removing barriers, and supporting disabled, learning disabled, and autistic filmmakers. Working with partners in the UK and internationally, and funded by the British Film Institute, the festival presents the BAFTA- and BIFA-qualifying Oska Bright Film Festival, delivers accessible screenings, offers training for venues, and supports filmmakers to build skills and confidence. Oska Bright Film Festival centres disabled, learning disabled, and autistic people on screen and behind the camera, celebrating their stories, creativity, and voices.

Please note, some of the films have a 12/12A certificate and viewer discretion is advised.
