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.
