SPECTRUM FEST

I, filmmaker: A festival of self-made stories

Spectrum Fest is a unique film festival promotes and celebrates the artistic work of autistic, neurodiverse and divergent creators, disabled artists, D/deaf creators, and all other individuals facing barriers.

Our 6th year, “I Filmmaker: A Festival of Self-made Stories”, highlights the creativity of independent artists from our communities. Through self-made films and engaging presentations, our audience was inspired by narratives, strategies, and resources aimed at nurturing creativity into a sustainable career.

Changing the Scenery

Now in it’s 5th year, Spectrum Fest 2023 explored how layering perspectives "changes the scenery", adds richness and creates a broader scope of understanding and accessibility in our experiences of film and media.
