Captioned / Subtitled screenings for hard of hearing

We regularly programme open captioned (English subtitled) screenings for a wide variety of films, featuring a transcription of the audio from a film along at the bottom of the cinema screen to ensure people who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the full film plot. These screenings could also be helpful for those who speak English as a second language. The screenings are open to all.
