Actions to guarantee accessibility and inclusion at festivals
The network works to promote film festivals open to everyone and to encourage practices that guarantee access to culture for people with disabilities. Member festivals share knowledge, develop common tools, and promote services that improve the audience experience.
Accessibility measures
The festivals in the network promote various measures to facilitate access to audiovisual content:
Accessible subtitles (SDH)
Audio description
Sign language interpretation
Relaxed or adapted screenings
Reduced volume screenings
Advance materials for the audience
Accessibility of spaces
The festivals work with venues and facilities that incorporate physical accessibility criteria:
access for people with reduced mobility
designated spaces for wheelchairs

Information accessibility
Communication is key to ensuring an accessible experience. Member festivals strive to offer:
accessible websites and digital materials
clear information about available services

Tools and resources
The network also develops tools and resources to help festivals and cultural institutions improve their accessibility, such as best practice guides, training materials, and cultural space assessment tools.
