For Filmmakers

Bring us the bodies, the monsters and the stories nobody else quite knows what to do with.

Six event panelists sit in a row speaking to an audience. A screen behind them shows live closed-captioning, and one of the panelists on the right uses a wheelchair.

Access:Horror programs horror and experimental work through a disability-led lens. We are interested in films that stretch the genre, complicate how disability is represented, and give disabled filmmakers room to be frightening, funny, strange, political, messy or completely uninterested in being inspirational.

Submissions for each edition are announced through our website, mailing list and FilmFreeway. When the next call opens, this page will include eligibility, deadlines, fees and waivers, required access materials and what filmmakers can expect from the festival.
