The Other Film Festival welcomes the announcement by Screen Australia that all feature films funded by the federal screen agency after 1 July 2011 must now be delivered with audio description in addition to captions.
This announcement is great news for the 600,000 Australians who are blind or experience vision impairment. This initiative is a significant step forward in recognising that people with a disability have the right to enjoy screen culture on an equal basis with all members of the community.
