Unfortunately the event has to be postponed. You can find the new date and place here: http://www.filmwerkstatt-muenster.org/seminare/barrierefreier-film.html
The German film and cinema industry has included barrier-free access to films in some of their funding regulations. Accordingly, a film needs subtitles, an audio description and sign language, because many people often do not have the opportunity to receive all films, while the majority society does. In addition to the films themselves, some movie theaters are also not accessible for people with disabilities because they are not barrier-free.
In the panel discussion, we want to engage in conversation with people from associations and with disabilities to make their experiences and perspectives visible.
This also raises the questions: How many films in the German film industry are actually accessible? How do people with disabilities, who are not able to receive all the films they want, feel? What problems do they face? How does it feel not to be able to participate in the cinema and film landscape like the majority of society? What does accessibility mean in the film and cinema industry? What needs to be done to make a film and a movie theater accessible to everyone? How expensive is an accessible film? What are the requirements in the theater and which of them must be met?
