It's Thursday, around lunchtime, so it must be...
The Weekly Subtitled Cinema Listings! Nov 20th, 2003.
But first ... It's time to do your bit ...
Have you ever tried to lip read Spiderman?
Or an animated fish?
It's not easy.
Not everyone has perfect hearing and many people need subtitles to enjoy a
film.
Subtitles are usually produced before a film is released in the cinema. The
same basic subtitle 'text files' are later used for the DVD, video and TV
release. But cinema films are rarely screened with subtitles. Cinemas need
to catch up with other film media, and become more accessible. They need to
cater for the needs of EVERYONE in their communities, not just those with
perfect hearing.
You can help. A phone call, a letter, or a visit is all it takes. Please
contact your local cinema manager and request that subtitle equipment be
installed. Remind them that a grant is available for 50% of the cost -
around £5,000. Less than an evening's box office takings. This grant is only
available until the end of this month (November).

MORE SUBTITLED FILMS BELOW...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
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.

Return of the King:
In response to the numerous enquiries regarding the third and final part of
the Lord of the Rings trilogy: The first two films were available in the
'digital format only', so expect this one to be too. The latest news from
the people responsible is that it's "more than highly likely that the third
part of the trilogy will also be subtitled".
Watch the website for the latest info...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A subtitled version of Matrix Revolutions is available to cinemas, in the
'open subtitled' format. This means that every cinema in the UK can screen
it - the subtitles are 'etched' onto the actual print. A limited number of
prints are produced and 'toured' around cinemas.
This film is also available in the 'digital subtitle' format. This means
that 27 UK cinemas can screen the film from release date, whenever they
like, as many times as they like, because the digital subtitles are
projected over a 'normal' print of the film. Locations of the 27 'digital'
equipped cinemas on the website http://www.yourlocalcinema.com
Is your local cinema on the list? If not, ask them to screen this film!
Visit the website for listings by town (A-Z) or by cinema chain.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Now available to accessible cinemas: Love Actually, Seabiscuit, Holes,
Mystic River and more. Coming soon with subtitles: The Last Samurai, Scary
Movie 3, Master and Commander, S.W.A.T., Peter Pan, Brother Bear and more
Over 100 films are available with subtitles, but only 27 UK cinemas can
screen them. UK accessible cinemas are located here: Basingstoke, Belfast,
Cardiff, Clevedon, Colchester, Edinburgh (2), Glasgow, Guildford, High
Wycombe, Kingston, Leicester, London (8), Manchester, Newcastle (2),
Stirling, Woking, Wolverhampton and York. Coming very soon: Dublin, Leeds
and Stevenage.

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 are some available films never screened?"
"Why can't my local cinema screen the latest subtitled releases?"
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. Deaf people are generally excluded from the popular social
activity of cinemagoing...
