Presented by BFI Flare programmer Tara Brown, We've Always Been Here is a timely provocation that highlights the importance of queer disability representation within the landscape of film and culture.

Illustrated presentations from some of the leading people in the movement for accessibility and queer disability on film make this event essential. Featuring rare clips which highlight the fact that queer disabled folk have always been here, We’ve Always Been Here will not only touch on representation in film, but also access to the festival scene. Afterwards, Tara Brown will lead an in-depth panel about the intersections of queerness, disability and film.

The talk will be followed by a zine-making workshop to commemorate the event, making sure that these vital conversations go beyond the panel and into the physical world.
