Audio Description
For blind or visually impaired viewers
Screenings with a supplementary audio track that describes visual elements — actions, expressions, and scene changes — for blind or visually impaired viewers.
Baby Friendly
For parents and carers with young children
Screenings designed to welcome parents or carers with babies and young children. Typically includes lower volume, lights slightly raised, and pram parking. Also covers kids club and family programming.
Hard of Hearing
For deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers
Screenings with captions or other support for deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers. This covers open captions, closed captions, SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing), and BSL (British Sign Language) interpreted screenings.
Relaxed
For neurodiverse audiences
Screenings with adjustments for neurodiverse audiences, including autistic viewers and people with learning disabilities or sensory sensitivities. Features lower sound, slightly raised lights, no trailers, and a calm, tolerant atmosphere.
Subtitles
For language accessibility
Screenings with subtitles translating dialogue into another language (typically English). This is for language accessibility — making foreign-language films accessible to a broader audience.
