This project lit a fuse and in 2018 the young film makers worked together to produce their very own Arts Festival at Dartington Hall – Festival Ordinary Art. The 2-day event involved Relaxed Screenings at the Barn Cinema and a Curated Screening of 10 Random Act films made by learning disabled young film makers from across England; a contribution from Bigger House films, and the public premiere of their film. The Young Film Makers hosted the event and led a post screening Q+A with the audience. The festival was a wholly inclusive event:

-“For once my sister wasn’t the outsider”

– “The way the young people explained how they felt was an eye-opener. Fantastic, Brilliant.”

– “Films were really inspiring – Supercrips excellent – I hope it’s shown widely. Interesting hearing Q & A with curators”

Our Mission now is to work with our young volunteers to build on their experience and support their progression; to connect with film makers across the SW and potentially work in the film industry.
