LATEST REPORTS:

UK Film Council Digital Screen Network

Thanks to the UK Film Council, around a quarter of UK cinemas have been equipped with new digital projection equipment. In return, cinemas are required to show a broader range of films on a regular basis.

These systems can also display subtitles. Adaptations can be made to include audio description features too. Subtitle and audio description 'files' are readily available for most popular cinema releases.

It is hoped that these 'access' features will be utilised, to enable hearing and visually impaired people to enjoy digital cinema.
