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.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

A subtitled version of Matrix Revolutions is available to cinemas, in the 'open subtitled' format. This means that every cinema in the UK can screen it - the subtitles are 'etched' onto the actual print. A limited number of prints are produced and 'toured' around cinemas.

All other films on this list are available in the 'digital subtitle' format only. This means that only 27 UK cinemas can screen them. Cinemas can screen them as often as they like from release date, because the digital subtitles are projected over a 'normal' print of the film. Locations of the 27 'digital' equipped cinemas on the website http://www.yourlocalcinema.com


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It's time to do your bit ...
Have you ever tried to lip-read Spiderman? Or an animated fish? It's not easy. Not everyone has perfect hearing and many people need subtitles to enjoy a film.

Subtitles are usually produced before a film is released in the cinema. The same basic subtitle 'text files' are later used for the DVD, video and TV release. But cinema films are rarely screened with subtitles. Cinemas need to catch up with other film media, and become more accessible. They need to cater for the needs of EVERYONE in their communities; not just those with perfect hearing.

You can help. A phone call, a letter, or a visit is all it takes. Please contact your local cinema manager and request that subtitle equipment be installed. Systems are available from DTS and Dolby.

Return of the King: In response to the numerous enquiries regarding the third and final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy: The first two films were available in the 'digital format only', so expect this one to be too. The latest news from the film's distributors is that it's "more than highly likely that the third part of the trilogy will also be subtitled". But there it's highly probable that the subtitled version will NOT be available until after Christmas. Watch the website for the latest info.

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 are some available films never screened?"
"Why can't my local cinema screen the latest subtitled releases?"

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... Read more: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/news#whatsgoingon
