LATEST REPORTS:
UK Film Council Digital Screen Network
Thanks to the UK Film Council, around a quarter of UK cinemas will be equipped with new digital projection equipment over the next year or so. In return, cinemas will be 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.
