Captioned Screenings
Captions display dialogue on-screen and also describe the audio or sound portion of a film (eg when a door slams, when a phone rings), allowing viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing to follow the script and the action of a film at the same time. When on-screen captions are available with a film, we will schedule captioned screenings throughout our monthly programme.
