The digital accessible cinema chain: Part 3 – exhibitors: at the coalface of accessible cinema
no
Show on home page
Exhibitors are presenting an end-product around which strict licensing controls are in place in terms of how, when and where a movie is shown. Also, exhibitors have no control over whether access features of audio description and captions are included on a movie. Their control extends to whether those features, if available, are transmitted for patrons.
Exhibitors’ jurisdiction is the weekly scheduling of a movie at each location and the equipment used to bring access features to life for patrons that wish to use them.
