Let’s Include - an inclusion section
Cinema That Brings Marginalised Stories to the Centre.
A dedicated section for films that explore disability, neurodivergence, and lived experiences of exclusion with honesty, empathy, and craft.
Curated in collaboration with voices from the disability and inclusion community, the programme celebrates authentic storytelling and diverse perspectives. It is a reminder that whose stories are told is just as important as how they are told.
ABOUT THE LOGOThe identity is inspired by the neli kolam, where converging forms evoke people coming together and the idea that no one is left behind. The mark reflects inclusivity, belonging, and the strength of a community that makes space for everyone.
Its palette of soft, natural tones is inspired by the colours of the natural world. Something that is shared by all, regardless of background or ability, reinforcing the values of openness, empathy, and inclusion.
