Rosie Jones and Lizzie Emeh to play Oska Bright Film Festival Awards Night

Comedian, writer and actor Rosie Jones will open this year’s Oska Bright Film Festival Awards Night on Friday 25 October with a stand-up set.

She says: “I am very excited and honoured to be part of this year’s Oska Bright Film Festival. It’s such a brilliant way to celebrate diversity and as a disabled person myself, it’s a subject which I am incredibly passionate about. I can’t wait!”

Following Rosie’s set, we will announce the winners of the nine awards - you can read more about those here.

Closing the ceremony will be a live performance from award-winning singer/songwriter Lizzie Emeh. Lizzie made history when she released her debut album Loud and Proud and became the first solo artist with a learning disability to release an album of original songs in the UK.

Her new music video, Softly Hearing, features in our Dance & Music screening on Thursday 24 October.
