So brilliant to see @ParamountUK making such powerful interventions into accessible screenings. @BramleyTweets & I are really enjoying our conversations with them about our @PaperSheffield @EducationSheff research with @beevans129 on #captions & #access apnews.com/article/deaf-cine…
A new initiative will allow UK deaf audiences to see captioned films before general release

A new initiative will allow UK deaf audiences to see captioned films before general release

Deaf audiences are being prioritized at U.K. cinemas. Paramount Pictures UK will be showing their movies with captions the day before general release, meaning deaf and hard of hearing cinemagoers...

Rethinking Subtitles for Deaf Audiences

Subtitles are so important for deaf people and people who have hearing loss to ensure that they can watch anything they want to on TV. That’s why we need your help to make change happen! Take our #SubtitleIt Survey today: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/H8T8WDD
