Screenings and Venue
Accessible Screenings
We endeavour to make all of our events and screenings - including those as part of the Into Film Festival - as accessible as possible to everyone. This includes striving to ensure the availability of wheelchair access, audio-description, subtitles and autism-friendly screenings.
Autism Friendly Screenings
Lots of the venues we use offer autism-friendly screenings, which take the following measures:
- The lights will be on low
- The volume will be turned down
- There will be no trailers at the beginning of the film
- Audiences will be able to take their own food and drinks
- Audiences will be able to move around the cinema freely
