The Sundance Film Festival is making changes to improve accessibility for attendees with disabilities.
The foundation is helping to improve the accessibility of closed captioning at the festival with CaptiView devices and Feature Film Captioning Service; it will also be expanding Audio Description and Assisted Listening Devices with headseats for AD and ALD and Feature Film Audio Description Service. American Sign Language interpretation will additionally be available at all official festival events and official panels at the festival's Filmmaker Lodge.
"The generous partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation allows us to expand accessibility resources in theatres and official venues, providing audiences with disabilities the much needed capabilities to enjoy and experience our Festival programming, and activating all of our Artist Programs to deepen our creative and professional development engagement with artists with disabilities," a Sundance spokesperson said in a statement.
