Whilst many able-bodied actors are admired and given awards for their portrayal of disabled characters, there are still countless boundaries to entering the world of film as a disabled artist. However, in the past few years artists and activists have been campaigning to make sure that the screen industries, be that sets, cinemas or make-up trailers, really are a space accessible to everyone.

We will be joined by the formidable Julie Fernandez (The Office), the UK and Europe’s leading Access Coordinator; and rising star Connor Curren (Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, CBBC’s Dodger), the first autistic actor to play Christopher in the National Theatre’s Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, to discuss the current climate of being disabled artists both in front of and behind the camera, and how creating an accessible film set should be the default - and never an afterthought.
