In 2006 I got to go to Australia's only Disability Film Festival "The Other Film Festival". The festival features films made by, about and for people with disabilities and is held every 18 months, the next one is coming up in September. Its also the most accessible film festival in the country with audio descriptions for vision impaired and captions for hearing impaired. An amazing event if you can get there but if not, last time they streamed some films & workshops over the internet.

2008 sees the 10th anniversary of the MP3 player and the launch of the apple iphone. These devices are becoming more and more important in our lives and our education. Yet the iphone and itunes is generally regarded as highly inaccessible. The good news is T&T consultancy are doing something about this, but is it enough?
