Mike Layward, Artistic Director at DASH said today “This first mini Film Festival at DASH, is just the first in an ambitious programme of Film and Disability events we have planned.  On Friday 3rd December 2010 we will be pioneering a nationwide Disability Film Festival.  Arts organisations and film theatres across the country will be simultaneously showing the very best films made by Disabled Directors with Disabled Actors in lead roles.
