------------------------
We are sorry to report that Saw, Anchorman, Open Water and Super Size Me will NOT be available in an accessible format. The distributors of these films have decided NOT to make them accessible.

------------------------
IMPORTANT!

Subtitles @ Your Local Cinema receive accessible listings 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 this website, which is updated daily. If they don't inform us, we can't inform you.

Many cinemas schedules are "SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTIFICATION". Sometimes the files necessary for a subtitled or described film are not delivered to the cinema on time (they are separate from the film - on a disc).

The only way to be 100% sure is to check with the actual cinema before you plan a visit. But DOUBLE check, preferably with a manager. We recommend that you should always request confirmation that a show is definitely on.

Coming soon: Unless indicated otherwise the following films will ONLY be released in the DIGITALLY SUBTITLED format:
Bridget Jones 2, Alexander, Shark Tale and many more.
Visit the website and bookmark your local area!

------------------------
More info:

These days almost all films are only released with 'digital subtitles', which means that they can only be screened in cinemas with digital subtitle facilities. There are over 120 of these cinemas in the UK. Locations here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/locations.html

It is hoped that another 150 cinemas will be equipped with subtitle and audio description facilities in 2005. If that happens, around half of UK cinemas will be accessible to people with hearing or visual impairments.

For this to happen, cinemas need to apply for a government grant. So it's important to let cinemas in your town know how much you need subtitles. Please inform cinemas in your area of this offer - the deadline for applications has been extended - it's now 10th December 2004. Full details on this grant scheme here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/grants.html

----------------

We cannot 'force' a cinema to enable people with less than perfect hearing or vision 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 local area and request better access for people with sensory impairments. Request that they become 'accessible', by installing a digital subtitle system. Cinemas in your area now have an opportunity to become fully accessible to people with sensory impairments for very little financial outlay.

And it's not enough to just install the system. Cinemas with the system should screen regular subtitled shows, at suitable times.

Cinemas should view the subtitled shows as they do disabled ramps, lifts, loop systems etc. - NOT there to make a profit, but to enable people in their communities, who need a little extra help, to enjoy a cinemas' services.

If a cinema needs more info, direct them to our website - there's info on government grants available, digital systems available, where to purchase and more.

----------------

It's rare that a film is released in a form that all cinemas can screen - the 'older' form of subtitling. Apart from foreign language films, the last one was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The vast majority of future cinema releases will ONLY be available with subtitles in the digital format from now on.

Once these cinemas have the subtitle 'files', they can overlay subtitles onto the latest films. They don't need a 'special' subtitled print. The system can be turned on and off - similar to teletext subtitles on TV, so the screen can be used for non-subtitled shows too.

The system can also broadcast audio description, for visually impaired people. The on-screen action is described in detail through personal headphones. This feature has no affect on an audience's enjoyment of a film and can be left 'on' all of the time. Every show can be an audio described show. Cinema audio description is also ONLY available in the digital format.

Each 'access' system costs less than an average cinemas weekend takings on a major film - less than £10,000. For a limited time, grants are available to cinemas. Every cinema with the system installed is able to show the subtitled version of an available film when they please.

----------------

Ideally, cinemas that become accessible 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.

This would vastly improve on the 'old' subtitling system in which a couple of subtitled film prints were 'toured' around cinemas, resulting in some cinemas having to screen a Christmas movie the following February. That 'touring' problem was also the reason why a subtitled film usually only played for one day only - it had to be delivered the next day, to the next cinema down the line. The new system enables many cinemas to screen a subtitled show many times, over many weeks, at popular times, simultaneously.

Any queries, please don't hesitate to contact us.
