SUMMARY:From Production to Festival: Crafting Accessible Films with We Crip Film
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \n  \nJoin the British Film Institute’s (BFI) ‘We Crip Film’ in celebrating disabled rage\, intersectionality\, & queer joy in the film industry. Together\, we will go on a journey of giving birth to a film. From production all the way through to film festival aftercare answering the many conundrums “how do I balance access and creativity?”\, “how can I advocate for myself and my access needs?” and of course\, the classic “how the f*** can I make this film accessible when I have zero money?”. Do not fret\, We Crip Film is on the case! \nWe will delve deep into a case study of access-dedicated film festivals\, defining what is and is NOT best practice and discussing the results and impact of FWD-DOC’s film festival accessibility scorecard. \nYou will leave this panel feeling ready to kick some inaccessible ass and be in possession of some incredible practical filmmaking and exhibition resources which will be shared with everyone in attendance. \nJoining on the panel will be: \n\nClare Baines (BFI\, Inclusion Partner) moderator\nCharlie Little (Matchbox Cine\, film exhibition access consultant)\n Lindsey Dryden (filmmaker & fwddoc)\nTara Brown (the queer fat crip film programmer)\n\nWe Crip Film\, is the BFI’s Disability Screen Advisory Group. First formed in 2018 and now in Its sixth year chaired by Kyla Harris (BBC’s We Might Regret This) & co-chaired by Justin Edgar (104films). We support and advocate for authentic disability representation & disabled talent behind the camera\, on-screen\, within our cinemas and UK-wide. We believe in cross-disability solidarity.  We work in coalition with other groups who have experienced marginalisation in accomplishing our goals.  \nThis panel will be followed by some accessible networking. We all know that standing round with some drinks isn’t for everyone\, and often incredibly inaccessible\, so join us in some crip-friendly “networking”. Think wholesome fun\, where you can yap with people on projects and build long-lasting connections & hopefully friendships.  \nCurated by BFI We Crip Film. \n  \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, £8\, £10\, or £12. To book\, click here or call the CCA Box Office on 0141 352 4900. \n  \nAccessibility  \nThis programme has: \n\nEnglish-BSL interpretation for the whole event\nLive Captioning for the whole event\n\nYou can find out more information about accessibility at SQIFF 2024 here. If you have any questions about accessibility at SQIFF 2024\, please get in touch with us at info@sqiff.org or by phone on 07873 331 036. \n  \nDonate: \nDonate to SQIFF via PayPal or sign up to one of our four Patreon tiers to support our work and show us you’re a big SQIFF fan 🌈✨ \n  \nImage Credit: BFI We Crip Film
