About this service:

The UK leads the world in 'accessible' cinema.

Hundreds of cinemas regularly screen the latest films with on-screen subtitles and a narrated soundtrack (audio description) for people with hearing or sight loss.

Subtitled and audio described cinema enables people with less than perfect hearing or vision to enjoy film, presented in its original, and best form - the cinema.

This service - 'Your Local Cinema .com' - is the only listings service created exclusively for accessible cinema. Our service can be found wherever there is internet access - at home, the workplace, school, a library, an internet cafe, or the thousands of wi-fi hotspots and internet kiosks throughout the UK and Ireland.

The service serves as a one stop shop both for the cinema industry and for public audiences interested in accessible screenings UK-wide, which are listed clearly each week. We have a weekly email newsletter, notifying thousands of people of accessible shows in their area and our database of people interested in accessible cinema continues to increase. If you would like to receive our bulletins, or if you run a cinema and would like to have your accessible shows publicised, please email us at subtitles@yourlocalcinema.com.

"Have you ever tried to lip-read a masked super hero or villain? Or an animated rat, fish, car or robot? Without subtitles we just watch the pictures and guess the story"

"I have lost my sight. You think I can't enjoy the cinema? Imagine the scariest film you know, only SCARIER!"

About cinema subtitles & audio description.

Cinema subtitles/captions are displayed along the bottom of the cinema screen. They include the spoken text as well as descriptions of sounds such as 'door creaks', 'footsteps approaching', 'gunshot' etc.

Cinema audio description is a recorded narration which explains - in gaps in the dialogue - what's happening on screen. It's delivered through wireless headphones - only the wearer hears the audio description soundtrack. One blind cinema-goer has likened the experience to listening to a Harry Potter audio book, but with all the actors voicing their own parts, and the addition of the film soundtrack - in fabulous surround sound.

"It's the accessible cinema experience: SEE the dialogue! HEAR the action!"
