Films screened

The 2024 screening for the Lived Perspectives Film Festival took place at the University of Winchester, West Downs Campus on the 20th March.

We screened 8 short films created by disabled and neurodivergent filmmakers, actors, and crew.

There were also Q&A’s with Ann Mankee Williams from the Attune Project, and Matt Warlow who created and directed the film It’ll be fine, Probably.
