Hijinx Unity Film Festival 2024

Unity Film Festival presents an exciting, diverse selection of inclusive features and shorts created by and with learning disabled and autistic creatives and actors, alongside Q&As and panel discussions. This is the second edition of the festival, which is a sister event to Hijinx’s international disability arts festival, Unity Festival.

All films at the festival are relaxed screenings. This means the audience lights will be left on low and you are welcome to leave your seat, make noise and move around.
