Oska Bright Film Festival x Dreamy Place: Queer Freedom - outdoor film trail

Saturday 24 October 2026, 8.30–9.30pm
Central Brighton
Free

Join Dreamy Place and Oska Bright Film Festival for a special outdoor film trail through central Brighton celebrating queer lives, identities and experiences.

Films will be projected onto walls and buildings around the city as we guide audiences on a leisurely walk through central Brighton. Selected from Oska Bright Film Festival’s Queer Freedom strand, the programme brings together five short films exploring queer identity, love, self-expression and freedom.

Queer Freedom celebrates LGBTQIA+ stories at the intersection of queerness and disability. Oska Bright is the world’s leading film festival for films made by or featuring learning disabled and autistic people.

Meeting point: Outside Food for Friends, opposite Zizzi, Prince Albert Street, Brighton BN1 1HF.

Look out for the Dreamy Place team in hi-vis vests.
