It's official!
According to the BBC we are now
"one of the coolest sites on the net"(!)
Read why here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/closeup/cinema_access.shtml
------------------------
PLEASE READ THIS!
We receive accessible listings directly from cinema head offices. Unless urgent amendments are required, listings are updated on the website every Thursday. We take great care to ensure the listings are timely and accurate but can take NO RESPONSIBILITY for postponed or cancelled shows. If cinemas inform us of changes, we will tell you via this website. 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.
We cannot provide cinema tickets. Please contact your cinema directly for these. For suggestions, corrections or just to contact us please use our Feedback page: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/feedback.html
------------------------
As soon as cinemas schedules are announced for new films, they will be listed on our website - please DON'T wait for the next weekly email – CHECK the website often! Important reschedules, time changes etc. are posted on there as soon as they are announced. You can bookmark your nearest subtitle equipped cinema listings page.

MORE INFO:
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. Over 150 UK cinemas 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
Many more 'accessible' cinemas are on the way. New 'digital projection' equipment is planned to be installed in over 300 cinemas in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Southern Ireland in 2005/2006. These systems will have the capability to screen almost every popular release with subtitles (providing subtitle 'files' are made available to these cinemas, and cinemas schedule subtitled shows). Audio description facilities can be configured too.
It's a quiet revolution in the world of sensory impaired people, thanks to the cinema and film distribution industries, 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 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.

------------------------
Why do some 'subtitle equipped' cinemas not show all available subtitled films, at sensible times?
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.
If a cinema needs more info, direct them to our website - there's info on digital systems available, where to purchase and more.
Many articles on the subject are available to read here: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/press.html
