First started in Ankara, the Accessible Film Festival has been encouraging disabled viewers to come out of their shells and join cultural activities since 2013
has been encouraging disabled viewers to come out of their shells and join in cultural activities for the past seven years.
Before organising the Accessible Film Festival we used to work at other film festivals. In these festivals there would be three or four films that screened with audio descriptions but the sound would be transmitted into the auditorium so people without disabilities didn’t come to these screenings and people with hearing disabilities couldn’t follow these films because there weren’t any closed captions or sign language.
In our fifth year the conditions were right to hold the festival in other cities; with the help of Bogazici University [in Istanbul], Eskisehir Metropolitan Municipality and other supporters of the festival, we held the festival in Istanbul and Eskisehir. Therefore we are not interested in holding the festival once in a random city. We would much rather hold it in cities that participate in the Accessible Film Festival every year, that help break behaviour patterns in that city, that overcomes the reticence [of the disabled to join cultural events].several thematic sections
