Accessible Film Club
Monthly film screenings that are open to all, especially those with autism and learning disabilities.
The accessible film club screenings are open to all, especially those with autism and learning disabilities where films are screened in a relaxed, comfortable, safe, inclusive environment.
The accessible film club is an inclusive film-screening event that happens at Gulbenkian, in partnership with Square Pegs Arts on a monthly basis. Running since December 2017, we work with a core group of 15-25 years old individuals to programme and run the events.
At the club screenings, the films are screened in a relaxed, safe, comfortable and inclusive environment. Subtle changes to the cinema environment include the lights being kept on at a low level and lower than usual sound levels, no trailers or advertisements – just the film, allowance for increased levels of movement and noise, people to help you find your seats and captioned subtitles and audio description available.
