Have you ever tried to lip read Spiderman?

Millions of people in the UK use subtitles on TV, DVD and video to enjoy
movies. Now cinema has become accessible too. Subtitled and audio described
cinema enables people with less than perfect hearing or vision to enjoy
film, presented in its original, and best form - the cinema.

You can find us wherever there is internet access - at home, the workplace,
school, a library, an internet cafe, the many thousands of BT internet
kiosks throughout the UK etc. Half of UK households have internet access now
so there's really no excuse not to know what subtitled movies are out there!

But to be notified of new subtitled films, dates & times in your area every
week, just reply to this mail and say "Tell ME!"

Know someone who would appreciate this info? Tell them! Forward this email
to them now.

PLEASE READ THIS!
Subtitles @ Your Local Cinema receive subtitled listings information
directly from cinema head offices, but we can take NO responsibility for
postponed or cancelled shows. If cinemas inform us of changes, we will tell
you via the website. If they don't inform us, we can't inform you.

Many cinemas schedules are "SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTIFICATION".
Sometimes a subtitled film is not delivered to the cinema on time and cannot
be screened.

The only way to be 100% sure is to ALWAYS check with the ACTUAL cinema
before you plan a visit. But DOUBLE check, preferably with a manager. NEVER
turn up without getting confirmation that a show is definitely on.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Many people have been enquiring as to what exactly is going on with UK
subtitled cinema:

"Why do we have to travel 50 miles to catch one?"
"Why do we have to wait months after release date?"
"Why do films usually only play once?"

Let us explain...

An estimated 5 million people in the UK use subtitles to enjoy films and
although subtitles are the norm on TV, DVD and video, silent movies are
still the norm at the cinema, but without the old captions that helped to
explain the plot. Deaf people are generally excluded from the popular social
activity of cinemagoing.

Almost all popular films ARE released in a subtitled version, but they are
usually 'digitally subtitled only' which means that they are incompatible
with 98% of UK cinemas.

So for the time being, the vast majority of the latest subtitled releases
won't be screened nationwide, as only 22 cinemas in the UK can screen them -
cinemas with a digital subtitle system.

It is hoped that these 'accessible' cinemas will utilise their 'access'
systems as much as possible. Ideally, these 22 cinemas would show one or
more different subtitled films every week, with at least one daytime and
evening show through the week, and a couple of daytime and evening weekend
shows. Three or four shows a week might just make deaf people feel welcome
AND improve the audience figures for subtitled shows. Not a lot to request!

We cannot 'force' a cinema to enable deaf people to enjoy their services, we
can only ask them to. And we do, constantly. It's our job to create
awareness of the problem, suggest solutions, and to empower people to do
something about it

We recommend that people contact cinemas in their area and request that
their services are made available to deaf and hard of hearing people.

Remind the cinema how many films are available to them and ask for films to
be shown. All cinemas can screen the films below, and more, with subtitles.
These have been produced in the 'older' form of cinema subtitling - the
subtitles are embedded in the actual film that is supplied to the cinema
('hard' subtitles). Cinemas just need to hire them from the relevant
distributor, as they do with 'normal' films.

Films available to every UK cinema include Matrix Reloaded, X-Men 2,
Daredevil, James Bond: Die Another Day, Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets and more.

A full list of every subtitled mainstream film available to cinemas (over 90
to date, including most popular ones), and locations of cinemas with a
digital subtitle system are available on the website:
http://www.yourlocalcinema.com

Lots more information on the website!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We are expecting many subtitled films this year including:
Finding Nemo, The Italian Job and many more.

Over 90 films have been released in the past few years with cinema subtitles
and/or audio description. The vast majority of them can only be screened in
'digital subtitle' equipped cinemas, of which there are currently only 22 in
the UK.

"Think of it like 98% of cinemas having a VCR player, and 2% having a DVD
player, but new films are only available subtitled on DVD!"

Please ask your nearest accessible cinema to screen them!
