Over the years, the Edinburgh International Film Festival has become about a lot more than just watching moviews. Its industry events receive a lot of attention and one particularly important one this year was All Inclusive, which brought together deaf and disabled filmmakers to discuss the challenges they face in this industry and look at ways they might be resolved, as well as to celebrate work produced despite them. One of the organisers was Rachel Robey, Disability Arts Champion at the British council. We caught up with her and with two of the event's speakers, Charlie Swinbourne and Aurora Fearnley, to find out more about it.

Back in October last year, Screenterrier posted the casting call for My Song, a short film from C & B Films, a new production company headed by director William Mager and scriptwriter Charlie Swinbourne, funded by the British Sign Language Trust (Bslbt). The film went into production in November 2010 and was completed in March 2011.
A coming of age story which follows Ellen, a young deaf girl stuck in the middle of the deaf and hearing worlds, the film premiered on Film Four.
My Song stars Lara Steward, (who also appeared in BBC Drama The Silence), as Ellen who feeling as if she doesn't fit in, learns sign language, and attempts to enter the deaf world by taking part in a sign song competition in London. However Ellen finds her journey far more difficult than she first thought.
A thought-provoking film which reveals a hidden truth about the deaf community in Britain...
