At Visability Film Festival, we celebrate daring styles and unique voices, rewarding new and exciting filmmakers, who aren’t afraid to take creative risks.
With half of profits donated to disability organisations, we as a team are dedicated to utilizing film as a tool for societal change. Our 2021 programme will give a platform to myriad diverse voices.
At Visability Film Festival we are conscious of gender inequality within film. We believe film festivals have a responsibility to address this disparity. Therefore, inspired by the 5050X2020 film festival movement we promise to maintain a gender-balanced final selection. At the festival, we will have at least as many films by female identifying filmmakers as male.
Visability Film Festival are honoured to discover, and then spring board, new and exciting filmmaking talent. Unearthing original stories from distinctive filmmakers is what we do best.
We actively encourage film submissions of any form, genre or length, from filmmakers of any background, but are especially interested in films from lesser-heard voices.
We are proud to feature domestic film projects alongside international offerings, celebrating independent filmmaking talent from across the globe.
Our dedicated and diverse viewing panel features film academics, award winning animation directors, cinematographers, actors, set designers and film critics, all of whom are passionate about creating a film programme of unparalleled quality, that remains true to the festival’s core beliefs and values. Members of our team have worked behind the scenes for some of the UK’s biggest and best-established festivals, giving us real nous when it comes to the festival circuit.
Our inaugural edition will take place in London, February 2021, with event details to be announced nearer the time.
