Image Credit: Finding Trixie, Danny Smith, 2025 Join Dreamy Place and Oska Bright Film Festival for a special outdoor film trail through central Brighton celebrating queer lives, identities and experiences.
Films will be projected onto walls and buildings around the city as we guide audiences on a leisurely walk through central Brighton. Selected from Oska Bright Film Festival’s Queer Freedom strand, the programme brings together five short films exploring queer identity, love, self-expression and freedom.
Queer Freedom celebrates LGBTQIA+ stories at the intersection of queerness and disability. 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.
Look out for the Dreamy Place team in hi-vis vests.
