From Production to Festival: Crafting Accessible Films with We Crip Film

Join the British Film Institute’s (BFI) ‘We Crip Film’ in celebrating disabled rage, intersectionality, & queer joy in the film industry. Together, we will go on a journey of giving birth to a film. From production all the way through to film festival aftercare answering the many conundrums “how do I balance access and creativity?”, “how can I advocate for myself and my access needs?” and of course, the classic “how the f*** can I make this film accessible when I have zero money?”. Do not fret, We Crip Film is on the case!

We will delve deep into a case study of access-dedicated film festivals, defining what is and is NOT best practice and discussing the results and impact of FWD-DOC’s film festival accessibility scorecard.

You will leave this panel feeling ready to kick some inaccessible ass and be in possession of some incredible practical filmmaking and exhibition resources which will be shared with everyone in attendance.

Curated by Nat Lall and Huss.
