The Oskas

She visits the Cheese Tree on her donkey and has a fight with her enemy M Zabe, who soon becomes her friend".
Other films include Jill. The filmmaker, Jill Hooper, says: "It's a cartoon of different colours, which I put together. It was a good laugh and good fun. It's a funny joke. Jill jumps on the bed. I might make a different film when I can". Also Cat Can Can made by Carousel: "There was a pirate, a spider and a spaceman, they caught a cat shaped bus to the disco on the back of a flea".
, and are supporting and facilitating Oska Bright, which includes an award ceremony in the evening and an opportunity for one film-maker with learning difficulties to receive a bursary to continue their work. Good luck to all.
