The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Filmmaker Reid Davenport offers a first person account of disability and (in)visibility from his wheelchair. Prompted by a circus tent appearing outside his apartment in Oakland, Davenport highlights the ableist consequences of freak shows, and reflects on (in)accessibility, stigma and beauty in different angles.

I Didn't See You There is screening with closed captioning.

Please note: the screening on 23 June is part of the Showroom's Early Doors series of screenings plus coffee and cake for over 55s.
