GETTING OUR FILMS INTO FILM FESTIVALS MEANS WE ARE SEEN ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Small Club. Big Reach. If the quality of our films is good enough to be accepted into a film festival, that means we are on the right path to getting autistic people seen and heard, up there on the big screen. As luck would have it, our films get a great reception and a lot of recognition on the film festival circuit. And we’ve only just started.
We are determined to keep making films which achieve this kind of reach and popularity.
RUNNING WITH TRAINS
Our first ever film, the one which kick started A-listers off in the first place, winning BEST EMERGING TALENT at the 2022 OSKA BRIGHT FILM FESTIVAL as well as being accepted into festivals in Rome, Colorado, Minnesota and Brighton’s Cinecity here in the UK.
It has had huge longevity as well as reach and even now, regularly makes selection at BFI’s Southbank as a showcase for autistic talent.
unique perspectives
UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES was a 2023 collaborative project between the A-listers and Pier One music ensemble (part of the charity Create Music), with A-listers getting involved not only composing and performing the original music, but following up with their own very unique music video. This was accepted into OSKA BRIGHT FILM FESTIVAL 2024 and NORTHAMPTON FILM FESTIVAL 2025 where it won the YOUTH DISABILITY AWARD. Prepare for high camp!
A-listers made the film THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER in October 2024 just for fun, to add to their repertoire of Halloween shorts, so they were pretty excited to hear that it’s been accepted into the EMERGING TALENT section of the forthcoming OSKA BRIGHT FILM FESTIVAL. That means our film will get seen by a huge audience in Brighton and further afield from March 2026! https://oskabright.org/
