Organised at a local level by cinema management and Carol Unger of the Dandenong Low Vision Group, the PG-rated Water for Elephants is the second open audio described movie to play at the cinema after a successful screening of Red Dog a few months back. Being open audio described, all patrons within the auditorium will hear the original and audio description soundtracks.
Reading Cinemas is part of the Federal Government’s Cinema Access Implementation Plan and will commence closed audio description and captions before the end of 2014, but in the meantime, both groups hope to continue open audio described movies until this installation takes place.
The screening of Water for Elephants will be on Tuesday, 31 July, commencing at 11am. Patrons are advised to arrive in good time to get their choc tops and popcorn before the movie commences. Tickets are $5 each.
Reading Cinemas is located on Level 2 of the Dandenong Plaza in McCrae Street, Dandenong.
