The event, which begins on November 30 at the Southbank National Film Theatre, also includes masterclasses on lighting and producing low-budget films.
Many of the films to be shown at the 7th Disability Film Festival have been produced by film-makers and actors with disabilities from around the world.
The London Disability Arts Forum, which organises the festival every year, has created a programme based on short and feature length dramas, animations, documentaries, experimental films, question and answer sessions, presentations and workshops focusing on nurturing new talent and improving skills.
An increased international presence is promised this year, with films from Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Poland, Spain, the US and Bollywood. The festival will also be organising special events to coincide with World Aids Day on 1 December and International Day of Disabled People on 3 December.
Each film will be soft-titled, audio-described and British Sign Language interpreted, with a Palantype transcription simultaneously projected during more practical sessions.
