Mission Impossible 3 subtitled (12a)
The third instalment in this spectacular blockbusting series is
arguably the best and most explosive yet. Ethan Hunt (Cruise)
is despatched on another deadly and highly secretive mission where
nothing is certain.
Directed by J.J. Abrams (the creator of LOST), and co-starring
Philip Seymour Hoffman (from Oscar winning CAPOTE),
MI3 is sure to set a new standard in the action-film genre.

LATEST NEWS:
There are now over 175 UK cinemas with subtitle and / or audio description
facilities!
Locations here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/locations.html
Since last year, the amount of subtitled shows has increased by 37%. There
are now around 1,000 subtitled shows around the UK every month. Not foreign
language films, but mainstream films - King Kong, Harry Potter, Chronicles
of Narnia etc.
Nowadays all major UK film distributors release most of their films with
subtitles and audio description, and many smaller distributors are becoming
"accessible" too. In the last few years UK film distributors have released
almost 400 films with these features.
Many more "accessible" cinemas could be on the way...
Many 'leisure' industries including TV, video, music, photo, and video games
have 'gone digital', and the cinema industry is going digital too. Thanks to
UK film distributors, most popular cinema releases are now available with
digital subtitle and audio description 'files'. To date over 175 cinemas
have digital 'readers' to synchronize these files with the film reel,
enabling subtitles to be overlaid on the cinema screen, and a separate,
narrated soundtrack (audio description) to be broadcast through wireless
headphones.
And thanks to the UK Film Council, new digital projection equipment is
currently being installed in over 200 cinemas in the UK. Over 100 cinemas in
Ireland will be 'going digital' too. All of these digital systems have
built-in subtitle 'readers'. As long as a digital film is supplied with
subtitle 'files', it can be screened with subtitles. Audio description
facilities can be configured too.
It is hoped that the 'access' features of these digital projectors will be
utilised, to enable hearing and visually impaired people to enjoy digital
cinema, but there's no guarantee that it will happen. We urge organisations,
groups and individuals to create total awareness of this 'access' issue, to
ensure it is addressed as soon as possible. Please contact
digitally-equipped cinemas in your area and request that they utilise the
built in 'access' features of digital projectors.
You can find a full list of upcoming digitally-equipped cinemas here:
http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/ukfc.arts.alliance.list.html
Note: Cinemas with subtitle & audio description facilities are added to our
locations database as soon as they begin to schedule accessible shows:
http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/locations.html
:::::::::::::::::::::::
We always welcome feedback – good or bad. It all helps to improve the
‘accessible’ cinema situation. We forward feedback to cinemas head offices
and will forward any reply to you.
Unfortunately 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. If they have not already
done so, request that they become ‘accessible’, by installing a digital
subtitle & audio description system. Over 175 cinemas in the UK and Ireland
have already installed such a system. Most popular films are available with
digital subtitle / description 'files' and cinemas with this facility can
screen these films regularly. Full details of shows nationwide can be found
here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com
If a cinema has already installed such a system, then request that they make
proper use of it by screening REGULAR subtitled shows at SENSIBLE times.
Cinemas that have a system can simply overlay subtitles onto the latest
films. The system can be turned on and off - similar to teletext subtitles
on TV, or DVD subtitles, so the screen can be used for non-subtitled shows
too. The system is usually installed in only ONE screen of a multi-screen
cinema building, and therefore does not interfere too much with ‘normal’
non-subtitled shows.
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.
Informing cinemas in your local area of the need for accessible cinema makes
them aware of it, and reminds them what they should be aiming for - access
to their services for people with sensory impairments. If many people made
an effort to do this it would really help the situation. It’s often the case
that although cinema head offices are fully aware of access issues, many
cinemas, run on a local level, are not.
For cinemas that have a digital subtitle/ description system, a good choice
of dates and times is necessary to enable more people to catch accessible
shows. Most people have work or school to attend to, and many cannot just
drop everything to fit into a cinemas schedule. People cannot be expected to
take the time out to attend one or two subtitled shows at unsuitable times.
Some cinemas may be concerned that subtitled shows will have a low turnout.
They are right - compared to the size of the 'general public' audience, the
number of hearing or visually impaired people in each town is small. Most
people take a friend or family member to the cinema, which increases the
audience, but it's still not a huge figure.
But audience figures for most morning or afternoon normal cinema shows are
very low anyway, and cinemas are used to fairly empty houses. Overall around
a third of cinema seats remain empty, so low attendance for subtitled shows
should not make much difference.
We believe that cinemas should view the subtitled shows as they view
disabled ramps, lifts, wheelchair spaces, loop systems etc. - NOT there to
make a profit, but to enable people in their communities, who need a little
extra help, to enjoy the service that cinemas provide.
If a cinema needs more info, direct them to our website - there's info on
digital systems available, government grants available, where to purchase
and more. Many articles on the subject are available to read here:
http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/press.html
:::::::::::::::::::::::
Accessible cinema has been a quiet revolution for sensory impaired people,
thanks to the cinema and film distribution industries, technology companies,
organisations representing disabled people, and the people themselves -
thousands aired their views when informed of the UK Film Council's proposal
to fund 50% of the cost of cinema equipment.
Organised nationwide campaigning and publicity of accessible shows helped to
bring it all together and ensure it always stayed on the agenda of the many
bodies involved.
