BARRIER-FREE CINEMA
audio description
Audio description in cinema provides blind and visually impaired people with an accessible movie experience. During the film's dialogue breaks, a plot description is read out. In the original version of foreign-language films, the German-language subtitles are also read out and thus also make the film accessible to people who cannot read or can only read to a limited extent. The involvement of blind people in the production of an audio description, but at the latest during quality control, is key. At look&roll, every manuscript has been written together with our blind or severely visually impaired partners since 2006. In doing so, we are responding to the not yet consistently implemented output of audio descriptions in cinema.
