Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore is a celebrated documentary by Deaf filmmaker Shoshannah Stern (USA), which premiered at Sundance in 2025, to widespread critical acclaim. The film highlights Matlin’s barrier-smashing breakthrough in Hollywood as a Deaf actress in Children of a Lesser God, and features her advocacy work and life in her own words.

The film draws on decades of never-before-seen home footage shot by her longtime interpreter and producing partner, Jack Jason. Matlin reflects on her relationship with actor William Hurt, her place in the Deaf community, and her long fight for accessibility in Hollywood. Interviews forgo interpreters in favour of subtitles, lending the film an added layer of authenticity.

CAREAID is a talk and participatory workshop and discussion led by artist Zofia Kuligowska (Poland), whose own experience of neurodiversity has led her to rethink what a disability aid can be, and who gets to define it; Zofia’s bike became her disability aid and the focus of a creative project that she will share with you.

Disability aids take many forms, from guide-dogs to rollators, earplugs and assistive technology – and bikes! As disabled people, we find our own innovative solutions and devices to help us take our place in the world. This is a quirky opportunity to explore things we use to make the world we live in more accessible to us, challenge how disability aids are perceived, and argue whether or not they belong to us as part of our identity.

You are invited to bring an aid, object, photograph, routine, practice, or your story on things that assist you in navigating everyday life.
