New website to support accessible film screenings for deaf and blind audiences launches in the UK

By: Mr. Satan (X)

The site is intended to improve and promote accessibility, encourage learning and resource sharing across cinemas, film festivals and the wider film exhibition sector. Around twelve million people (one in 5) in the UK are deaf or living with a hearing loss (RNID, 2022) with over 80% saying they would attend cinema regularly if a nearby cinema had captioned shows at convenient times (Inclusive Cinema, 2022). The project is supported by BFI Film Audience Network (BFI FAN), awarding funds from the National Lottery.”
