The network unites festivals that prioritize accessibility features such as audio description and captions, utilize accessible venues, showcase films about disability or created by disabled filmmakers, and actively include disabled people in their teams.
The network fosters collaboration and innovation among its members by sharing knowledge, best practices and resources while advocating for the inclusion of underrepresented audiences and creators.
At its core, Be In! believes that participation in cultural life is a fundamental human right, as stated in Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The network recognizes the need to remove barriers and create inclusive environments where everyone can enjoy the arts equally. Through its activities, Be In! works to highlight good examples of accessibility at film festivals, amplify diverse voices in cinema and provide an open platform for conversations about film.
