Built for Everyone: Making Film & TV Truly Accessible

14 May 2026
Keynote Theatre
Keynote

Accessibility in film and television is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s essential at every stage of the production. From inclusive hiring practices and on-set support to accessible technologies and workflows, how can the industry better enable talent and disabled crew to thrive behind and in front of the camera?

This session brings together industry experts to explore the practical steps productions must take to create genuinely accessible environments — from physical access and neurodiverse-friendly sets to adaptive equipment and inclusive production cultures.

Join us as we unpack the gaps, challenge outdated practices, and spotlight the innovations shaping a more inclusive future for film and TV — on screen and off.
