Mission

The Other Film Festival wants to change the world – we are starting with Australia.

The mission of The Other Film Festival (TOFF) is to screen the stories of people with disability which are largely submerged and misrepresented by mainstream film culture. The Other Film Festival gives people with disability, including screen practitioners, the opportunity to challenge and subvert the stereotypes prevalent in popular culture.

TOFF is changing how the community thinks about disability. We do this by programming the best films from around the world about the lived experience of disability. We screen those films in a highly accessible manner. We want our audience to be entertained and energised. We want you to have high expectations of your experience at the festival. Most importantly, we want you to feel welcome and included.
