Films will be projected onto walls and buildings around the city as we guide audiences on a leisurely walk through central Brighton. From underwater worlds and ancient standing stones to folklore and a search for an elusive bird, the programme brings together distinctive films exploring landscape, wildlife and our connections with the environment.
The films are selected from Nature, a strand of Oska Bright Film Festival 2026. Oska Bright is the world’s leading film festival for films made by or featuring learning disabled and autistic people.
Meeting point: Outside Food for Friends, opposite Zizzi, Prince Albert Street, Brighton BN1 1HF
