The four short films centre around the theme of love.
Film4 has commissioned a collection of four short films from disabled and neurodivergent filmmakers titled ‘4Love’.
The filmmakers, who include 2020 Screen Stars of Tomorrow Ella Glendining and Matilda Ibini, were commissioned by Film4 to create a short film inspired by or challenging the theme of love.
104 Films, a production company that regularly works with disabled and neurodivergent UK talent, produced the films which will be released in the UK later this year.
Speaking of the initiative, producer Justin Edgar said: “These films are truly ground-breaking because they were made by disabled writers and directors,...

Now that Quibi ended up lasting, well, a Quibi, the Emmy Awards’ short form categories seem further destined to become more of a curiosity than a major part of the competition. Roku picked up Quibi’s scraps, but doesn’t appear interested in launching new originals in the short-form space. And elsewhere, outlets including YouTube are bulking up in unscripted, but are less keen on adding more scripted, short form or not, to an already crowded marketplace.
The Television Academy first expanded the short form categories in 2016, buoyed by the promise of original fare from Maker Studios, Fullscreen, AwesomenessTV, YouTube Red, Adult Swim and others. Maker and Fullscreen basically don’t exist anymore, and the excitement of the short form races has perhaps further cooled after the Quibi debacle.
But although the Quibi business model was questionable, its programming wasn’t. The service premiered quite a bit of quality fare in its short life,...
