Oska Bright Film Festival was founded in 2004 by a group of learning disabled filmmakers frustrated at having nowhere to show their work. Now in its 8th edition, it is the largest and most influential festival of its kind in the world, and is run by the charity Carousel. We're delighted to welcome Carousel and Oska Bright's Sarah Watson to I.D. Screening Days to deliver a practical session on how to welcome learning disabled people to your venue. A self-taught illustrator who specialises in creating bold portraits, Sarah is Carousel's chairperson and has toured the UK and festivals across Europe to speak about her work and passion for cinema.

Umulkhayr Mohamed is a 24-year old first-generation British Somali who is interested in films, visual arts and spoken word poetry. Um recently graduated with a BA(Hons) in Business and Marketing from Essex University and is currently based in Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff. She is the Project Coordinator for Film Hub Wales's Anim18, a BFI-funded a national season celebrating British Animation, and one of Independent Cinema Office's FEDS trainees. In addition to this, she is interested in creating space for herself and others to challenge the 'faux' neutrality of narratives centered around privilege.
