About
this service:
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.
But
we have developed into much more than a comprehensive listings service.
We now have a UK based 24/7 telephone
call centre for general enquiries. Hearing impaired people
can contact us
by email, text message or fax, and we provide a 'talking
website' service for our visually impaired users.
Our
service also includes more and more subtitled and audio described
versions of official movie trailers,
where text or a voice-over helps to explain what’s occurring
on screen.
We
also produce 'accessible'
film websites for film studios and distributors. For
example, Ray – the widely acclaimed story of Ray Charles, who
refused to let his blindness deter him – was naturally of particular
interest to blind and partially sighted people. So we teamed up with
its UK distributor to produce a version of the official Ray website
that was appreciably more accessible than a standard movie website.
With a link directly from the official UK website, an accessible website
contains all the same content but in a far clearer format, easier
for visually impaired people to navigate. More importantly, it works
with screen reader software – popular ‘speaking’
software that helps visually impaired people to ‘read’
websites.
An
accessible website also includes an audio described trailer
and when the film is on release in cinemas, all audio
described shows are clearly listed, utilising our 'web
over phone' and 'talking website' technologies.
