ACCESS ALL AREAS 2011/12
Access All Areas Film Festival 2011 presents a program of accessible Australian films across the country. 15 new and acclaimed home-grown short films will be screened, as well as family film RED DOG, which is taking Australia by storm.
Since its inception in 2008 the festival has increased access to Australian films for people with a disability and raised awareness of access solutions in more than 25 cities across NSW. A flagship event of the Don't Dis My Ability campaign, the Festival is a great way to celebrate International Day of People with a Disability every year.
In 2011/12, the Festival is hitting the road again, taking its accessible tour to cinemas, community groups and schools not just in NSW but across the nation. Films are made accessible through open captions, audio description, comfortable and increased wheelchair access and Auslan interpreters.
