The first edition of BFI FAN: Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in Focus, a new series of webinars for UK film exhibitors.

This session explores how exhibitors can advocate for standardised, accessible screenings and provisions, hosted by Access Consultant, Charlie Little (Matchbox Cinesub).

Using examples of exhibitors across the UK who host descriptive subtitled screenings, Charlie discusses the different approaches, tools, and language you can use to create a standard of high-quality and reliable accessible practices within your own film screenings.

The session covers topics including:

– the value of reliable, high-quality descriptive subtitled screenings;

– the current cinema provision of descriptive subtitles;

– audience statistics and audience development;

– the present industry and mainstream attitudes toward descriptive subtitles
