We’ve Always Been Here: D/deaf Disabled Queers On Film

We’ve Always Been Here: D/deaf Disabled Queers On Film

A timely provocation that highlights the importance of queer disability representation within the landscape of film and culture.

llustrated presentations from some of the leading people in the movement for accessibility and queer disability on film make this event essential. Featuring rare clips which highlight the fact that queer disabled folk have always been here, We’ve Always Been Here will not only touch on representation in film, but also access to the festival scene. Afterwards, Tara Brown will lead an in-depth panel about the intersections of queerness, disability and film.

Matthew Hellett represents Brighton based  Oska Bright Film Festival at the BFI Flare Festival on Saturday 21 March.
He’ll be on the panel after “We Were Always There” which looks the representation of  D/Deaf, disabled and LGBTQ+
on film.

This talk will be followed by a zine-making workshop to commemorate the event, making sure that these vital conversations go beyond the panel and into the physical world.
