Latest News:

It's official - the UK Film Council have allocated £350,000 in grants to
equip approximately 10% of all cinemas in England with digital subtitling
and audio description equipment, to meet the increasing demand in accessible
cinema-going for audiences.

Cinemas now have an opportunity to become fully accessible to people with
sensory impairments for very little financial outlay. It is hoped that
eventually around 100 cinemas will be equipped with subtitle equipment -
watch the website for news...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Italian Job, Calendar Girls, Tomb Raider 2, and twenty more subtited films
below, although many are just one-off screenings.

Almost 100 films are available with subtitles, but only 26 UK cinemas can
screen them.

New accessible cinemas: Acton (London), Edinburgh and High Wycombe.
Coming very soon: Dublin, Leeds, Manchester and Stevenage.

UK accessible cinemas are located here:
Basingstoke, Belfast, Cardiff, Clevedon, Colchester, Edinburgh (2), Glasgow,

PLEASE READ THIS!
Subtitles @ Your Local Cinema receive subtitled listings information
directly from cinema head offices, but we can take NO responsibility for
postponed or cancelled shows. If cinemas inform us of changes, we will tell
you via the website. If they don't inform us, we can't inform you.

Many cinemas schedules are "SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTIFICATION".
Sometimes a subtitled film is not delivered to the cinema on time and cannot
be screened.

The only way to be 100% sure is to ALWAYS check with the ACTUAL cinema
before you plan a visit. But DOUBLE check, preferably with a manager. NEVER
turn up without getting confirmation that a show is definitely on.

Have you ever tried to lip read Spiderman?

Millions of people in the UK use subtitles on TV, DVD and video to enjoy
movies. Now cinema has become accessible too.

hearing or vision to enjoy film, presented in its original, and best form -
the cinema.

It's the accessible cinema experience -
SEE the dialogue! HEAR the action! FEEL the rumbling!

Our service can be found wherever there is internet access - at home, the
workplace, school, a library, an internet cafe, the numerous BT internet
kiosks throughout the UK etc. Around half of UK households have internet

Many people have been enquiring as to what exactly is going on with UK
subtitled cinema:

"Why do we have to travel 50 miles to catch one?"
"Why do we have to wait months after release date?"
"Why do films sometimes only play once?"

Let us explain...

An estimated 5 million people in the UK use subtitles to enjoy films and
although subtitles are the norm on TV, DVD and video, silent movies are
still the norm at the cinema, but without the old captions that helped to
explain the plot.

We cannot 'force' a cinema to enable deaf people to enjoy their services, we
can only ask them to. And we do, constantly. It's our job to create
awareness of the problem, suggest solutions, and to empower people to do
something about it
