Now in its 11th year, the festival aims to showcase brilliant and boundary-breaking stories from learning disabled filmmakers across the globe.

Lead programmer for the festival Matthew Hellett said: “We are so excited to be back with another edition. We're packing more than ever into this edition: four feature films and over a hundred shorts from across the globe.
