Film @ DASH

Monday 22 March 2010

DASH has been given funding by the UK Film Council to develop exhibition and film specifically for disabled people. To launch this project they are holding their first mini Film Festival.

Mike Layward, Artistic Director at DASH said: "This first mini Film Festival at DASH is just the beginning of an ambitious programme of Film and Disability events. On Friday 3rd December 2010 we will be pioneering a nationwide Disability Film Festival. Arts organisations and film theatres across the country will be simultaneously showing the very best films made by Disabled Directors with Disabled Actors in lead roles."

Programme of Events:

11 - 12.30 Oska Bright

A selection of short films from the 2009 Oska Bright Film Festival. The UK's only Learning Disability Film Festival. Plus, the world premiere of the DASH launch short film: are you in it?

1 - 4 Info and screenings

An afternoon session unlocking funding opportunities and introduction to DASH's digital equipment and how groups can use it. There will also be a selection of short films around disability.

4.30 - 7 Buffet & Drinks

Indulge in some quality food and drink and little networking. Meet the people at DASH and key people from other local organisations.

7 - 9.30 The White Ribbon

Feature length screening of 'The White Ribbon', nominated for Best Film in this year's Oscars. Michael Haneke's masterpiece about Germany pre-1914, with an introduction by Paul Darke and Mike Layward about how the film uses disability and raises issues of social alienation and exclusion. A brilliant film not to be missed. Followed by a discussion.

You can attend for the whole day or just parts that interest you. The event is free.
