About the event

We're co-hosting a special screening of IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? at Edinburgh International Film Festival, including a post-screening discussion with director Ella Glendining..

While navigating daily discrimination, a filmmaker who inhabits and loves her unusual body searches the world for another person like her, and explores what it takes to love oneself fiercely despite the pervasiveness of ableism. 

Hosted by our Access and Inclusion Consultant Charlie Little:

Vue Cinema Omni Centre - 19 Saturday, 18:30

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles (SDH) and Audio Description (AD), and live event elements will be live captioned.
