About this Event
This specially curated selection of films reflects the hidden stories and diverse experiences of disabled people in the North West using the North West Film Archive collection.
The films provide insight into what life has looked like for disabled and/or neurodivergent people in the region. Selected from the archive to focus on everyday life, the films celebrate disabled people in the workforce, learning new skills, enjoying leisure time, playing instruments and cards, and eating together.
The films span the 20th and 21st centuries and were made in a variety of film formats, locations and styles.
Doors for this event will open at 1.45pm. The screening will start at 2pm.
The venue is fully accessible and the films include descriptive closed captioning.
