Oska Bright is the only film festival in Europe dedicated to screening work by learning disabled film-makers. Their third annual bash takes place on Mon 15th and Tues 16th at the Old Market, presented by Carousel, working with JunkTV and Mencap. Funding also came from Steve Coogan and Henry Normal’s Baby Cow (that’s a production company, not an actual baby cow). Anyway, we love Oska Bright – when you look at the work, the film-makers’ “disabilities” cease to matter. Over the first two fests, they showed 100 films to over 8,000 people and this one is the largest yet, with contributors including Heart’n’Soul in London, Coventry’s Shyster Shadows and The Phoenix Centre in Newbury – but SOURCE will be keeping a look out for quality local work. This year, Carousel will tour a selection of winning films around the UK, visiting fifteen cities. Tickets are free but book in advance.
