Open Captions & Audio Description Screenings - When one of these screenings is confirmed the information will be added to this area of the website.
Access screenings include both audio description and captioned film in the same screening.
Audio described film is provided for those with a visual impairment. The film soundtrack comes through the speakers in the usual way and a recorded narrator explains what is happening on screen through personal headphones.
Open captioning is provided for those with a hearing impairment and is similar to subtitling, where the dialogue is written in text at the bottom of the screen. Captioning also includes text description of significant sound effects, such as gun shot.
For audio description headphones, please contact a member of Barbican staff on arrival. Barbican Film provides captioning/audio description using the Dolby Screentalk system.
You can call the Box Office on 0845 120 7518 for up-to-date information on confirmed Access Screenings. Access facilities are available on screenings in Cinema 1.
