About BE IN!

The Be In! Network of Accessible Film Festivals is a collaborative platform founded in 2019 by six European festivals with a shared goal: to promote accessibility, inclusion, and diversity in the film industry. The network brings together events that are committed to measures such as audio description, subtitles, and accessible spaces, as well as giving visibility to filmmakers with disabilities. Through the exchange of knowledge and best practices, it fosters innovation and collaboration among its members.

Be In! advocates that participation in culture is a fundamental right and works to eliminate barriers and create inclusive environments. Furthermore, it promotes a universal vision of accessibility that benefits all of society.

Accessibility is not an extra: it is a cultural responsibility
