Year on Year Analysis

Tracking changes in disabled representation across major film festivals over time. As new data becomes available, trends emerge that help us understand whether the industry is moving toward meaningful inclusion.

Note: The 2026 data shows a decrease in percentage representation, though this reflects larger festival programs (672 credits at Sundance 2026 vs 533 in 2025; 1,026 at Berlin 2026 vs 1034 in 2025). Absolute numbers and methodology refinements should be considered alongside percentages.
