We are sorry to report that Without a Paddle, White Noise, Blade Trinity, Phantom of the Opera, and Shaolin Soccer will NOT be available in an accessible format. The distributor of each film is responsible for an 'accessible' release.

------------------------
PLEASE READ THIS!
Subtitles @ Your Local Cinema receive accessible listings 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 this website, which is updated daily. If they don't inform us, we can't inform you. Many cinemas schedules are "SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTIFICATION". Sometimes the files necessary for a subtitled or described film are not available, or are not delivered to the cinema on time. The only way to be 100% sure is to check with the ACTUAL cinema before you plan a visit. But DOUBLE check, preferably with a manager. We recommend that you should always request confirmation that a show is definitely on.

Subtitled and audio described cinema enables people with less than perfect hearing or vision to enjoy film presented in its original and best form - the cinema. Almost a quarter of UK cinemas (130) can now screen most popular releases with subtitles & audio description.

Remember:
"It is not tragic to have a disability. Disability only becomes a tragedy when society fails to provide the things one needs to lead one's life"

Also on the website:
Site map here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/news.html
Media reports here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/press.html

Around 8 out of every 10 cinema releases at any one time are available with subtitles for deaf/hearing impaired people, and audio description for blind/visually impaired people. The subtitle/description 'files' are supplied to the cinema on a separate CD-Rom and automatically synchronise with the film when played. Around a quarter of UK cinemas (130) have the necessary equipment to read these files and most of them screen 'accessible' shows every week. Full details of shows nationwide can be found here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/index.html

It's a quiet revolution in the world of sensory impaired people, thanks to the cinema industry, the film distribution industry, technology companies, organisations representing disabled people, and the people themselves - thousands aired their views to the UK Film Council, when informed of the UK Film Council's proposal to fund 50% of the cost of cinema equipment.

Organised nationwide campaigning and publicity of accessible shows by our information service helped to bring it all together and ensure it always stayed on the agenda of the many bodies involved. All working together to make it happen - and quickly.

More info:

Why can't my local cinema show all available subtitled films?

We cannot 'force' a cinema to enable people with less than perfect hearing 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.

We recommend that people contact cinemas in their local area and request better access for people with sensory impairments. Request that they become 'accessible', by installing a digital subtitle system and screening regular subtitled shows.

Informing cinemas in your local area of the need for accessible cinema makes them aware and reminds them what they should be aiming for - access to their services for people with sensory impairments. If everyone did this it would really help the situation. It's often the case that although cinema head offices are fully aware, many cinemas, run on a local level, are not.

Some cinemas may be concerned that many subtitled shows have a low turnout. That is to be expected, as there is not hundreds of hearing impaired people in and around EVERY town. And not all can take the time out to attend the one or two subtitled shows at (usually) unsuitable times. Most people have work and/or school to attend to, and many cannot just drop everything to fit into a cinemas schedule.

Ideally, cinemas should view the subtitled shows as they do disabled ramps, lifts, loop systems etc. - NOT there to make a profit, but to enable people in their communities, who need a little extra help, to enjoy a cinemas' services.

Sometimes the audience figures are still larger than many 'normal' non-subtitled morning or afternoon shows. Yet cinemas don't complain about low figures for those shows. The fact is that around a third of cinema seats remain empty on average. Cinemas are used to fairly empty houses, so the figures should not make a difference.

If a cinema needs more info, direct them to our website - there's info on digital systems available, where to purchase and more.
