At the Irish Film Institute we are committed to providing access for audiences with disabilities and are delighted to announce that we will be providing audio description and open captioning for selected screenings.
LIST OF CURRENT ACCESSIBLE SCREENINGS
Open Captioned screenings for audiences who are deaf/hard of hearing.
Open Captions will be provided for a selection of screenings. Captions not only display dialogue, but also text describing sounds, sound effects, speaker identification, music, and other auditory information not conveyed in speech.
Hearing loops are installed at the IFI and are available in all screens.
Audio Described screenings for audiences who are blind/vision impaired.
IFI is delighted to offer audio description for a selection of our screenings. Audio Description (AD) is designed to allow audiences who are blind/visually impaired enjoy a film through the use of headphones. The headphones receive a narration of the film which describe the visual elements of the scenes on screen. Headphones are available at Box Office and our staff are happy to show you how they work. If you are making a group booking please let Box Office know in advance.
What screenings are accessible?
The AD (Audio Described) and OC (Open Captioned) symbols on screenings on the IFI website and printed programme will denote what films will have this capability. IFI cannot control what films are available with audio description and open captions, however we do intend to offer audio description on all screenings where it is possible and to offer a selected programme of open captioned screenings.
This month’s accessible screenings.
Hearing and Guide dogs are welcome at all times in all of our cinemas, please let the IFI Box Office know so that we can allocate suitable seating for you.
PA/ assistant ticket goes free with tickets for audiences with disabilities with relevant identification/ proof of requirement
Access for audiences who are wheelchair users
All our cinemas are wheelchair accessible. If you are a wheelchair user, please let the IFI Box Office know at least 30 minutes in advance of the screening (01 679 5744/boxoffice@irishfilm.ie). This enables us to determine your requirements and assist you fully. We regret that wheelchair users are currently unable to book wheelchair accessible spaces online.
This project is kindly supported by the Arts Council, in partnership with Arts & Disability Ireland.
