Best of the Fest - Oska Bright Shorts (Wheelchair Accessible Screening)

Oska Bright Film Festival is the world’s leading festival for films made by or featuring learning disabled or autistic people.
Supported by the BFI and Arts Council England, they produce the BAFTA and BIFA-qualifying festival, deliver accessible screenings, and nurture the next generation of filmmakers.

Part of Divergence Film Festival: A Weekend celebration of neurodivergence on-screen and behind the camera. 

All screenings are relaxed and a £10 double-ticket price is available - you can bring a trusted friend along for free! Or come along on your own and meet some friendly faces eager to enjoy cinema in a relaxed environment.

A relaxed screening is where people can watch a film in a relaxed environment. The lights are low instead of completely off, so you can still see where you're going. The volume is a little lower than a standard screening and you can move around the cinema freely as you wish during the screening.

You can leave the cinema room during the screening and return without having to worry. You can make noise, stim, and enjoy yourself. There is a friendly atmosphere and there are people around if you need any help. You will feel safe and welcome here. You might also be interested in our regular monthly relaxed screenings.

Also, in partnership with Aspens' Roebuck Enterprises* we are able to provide 10 FREE parking spaces available from 2pm - 6pm for monthly relaxed screening customers on a first come first served basis.

Just email Paula.Taylor@aspens.org.uk to request one. Aspens' Roebuck Enterprises in Hastings offers a variety of creative and skills workshops for people on the autism spectrum, providing development and enjoyment and the opportunity to sell their products - including the delicious artisan cake we serve each week at The Electric Palace.
