The website currently caters for 24 screens across 24 locations, but with the expansion of the program to a minimum 254 screens across 144 locations, structural changes and changes to the information provided will need to take place to accommodate the developments. Find out more answers to questions about the changes to accessible cinema.
The changes will be gradual, in keeping with the progressive rollout to the entire number of screens, but they will mean no longer providing session time information for the current 12 major cinema chain locations. This will only take place as each of these locations moves to the new digital system (and at this point in time there is no public timetable available for this). New locations that start up as a result of the expansion will not have session time information from the outset.
Patrons will still be able to find out what movies are playing at each location, summaries of those movies, and on which days they will play. Links will be provided directly to the cinema’s website to find out session times and to book tickets.
Overall, the idea is to accommodate the substantial growth of accessible cinema and provide a more streamlined process for finding out session information and booking tickets.
Information about the 12 independent locations will not be affected.
Media Access Australia endeavours to provide an all-encompassing accessible cinema website which will complement each cinema’s own website. The website transition will be done with the goal of managing cinema patron expectations and with this in mind all news about changes to the Your Local Cinema website and the rollout in general will be posted as soon as available.
