Narratives in Motion: The Power of Documentary
(in partnership with Academia Gerador)
Culturgest, Small Auditorium
Portuguese Sign Language and Automatic Subtitles
Trainer: Ana Sofia Fonseca
In Portugal, not all children and adults are able to enjoy the program in movie theaters.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are technological solutions within reach of producers, distributors and exhibitors to bring accessibility into the theaters.
Let’s explore the implementation experiences from other European countries and reflect on them.
What are the first steps? Who should be involved?
We bring together audiences (or potential audiences…) and industry professionals to, together, outline a plan for the implementation of accessibility resources, aiming to identify responsibilities and inspire concrete actions to ensure a fairer and more inclusive audiovisual environment.
