Audio described cinema and DVD information.

 

UKFC survey

Audio described cinema - future plans - have your say.

The UK leads the world in 'accessible' cinema. Most major cinemas now have facilities to screen the latest films with audio description (a narrated soundtrack) for people with sight problems and most popular films are available with audio description. 'Accessible' shows are now a regular feature in hundreds of cinemas nationwide.

In 2003 the UK Film Council helped to kickstart this revolution in cinema access, with grant schemes to help fund subtitle & audio description equipment & films. This year the Council face a £25m cut in its funding (much of which is being redirected to the 2012 Olympic Games), and funding for many film-related projects (including 'Your Local Cinema .com') has ceased.

The UK Film Council would like to hear YOUR VIEWS on cinema access, to help plan possible future funding schemes. This is an opportunity to let them know how important audio described cinema is to people with sight loss. Click here for details: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/haveyoursay.ad.html
