Latest News:

It's official - the UK Film Council have allocated £350,000 in grants to
equip approximately 10% of all cinemas in England with digital subtitling
and audio description equipment, to meet the increasing demand in accessible
cinema-going for audiences.

Cinemas now have an opportunity to become fully accessible to people with
sensory impairments for very little financial outlay. It is hoped that
eventually around 100 cinemas will be equipped with subtitle equipment -
watch the website for news - new locations added as they become available...

subtitled".

postponed or cancelled shows. If cinemas inform us of changes, we will tell

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.

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 sometimes 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.

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
