Cultural accessibility can be approached from many different perspectives: a film, a work of art, a training programme or even the way we organise an event.
During our recent stay in Bucharest, we had the opportunity to explore these different perspectives through three activities promoted by the Instituto Cervantes: an artistic intervention at a museum, an accessible screening of the documentary Inclusivity – Beyond Cinema, and an inclusive filmmaking workshop for the Romanian audiovisual sector.
Three different initiatives with the same underlying idea: to integrate accessibility into culture from the outset and to work alongside the people who will ultimately experience it.
In recent years, accessibility in the audiovisual industry has gained greater relevance, driving initiatives that enhance diversity and inclusion. Among the proposed solutions, the figure of the accessibility coordinator has emerged as a new department and professional role that «ensures the participation of people with disabilities behind the screen, their non-stereotypical representation on screen, and the consideration of accessibility from the production and exhibition phases, acting as a bridge between the creative team and the accessibility team.»
To learn about this proposal, and since we have been asked about it several times, we will now compare it with inclusive cinema.
Cultural accessibility is not an add-on; it is a right. And to continue promoting it, we have taken a key step: Mi Cine Inclusivo is now an official non profit association.
For nearly a decade, we have worked as a laboratory for the creation, research, and dissemination of universal culture. Along the way, we have developed a pioneering ecosystem based on accessibility from the start. But the impact we aim to create in the cultural industry requires stronger structures. That’s why becoming an association will allow us to expand our actions and strengthen our network of collaboration with professionals, organizations, and creators committed to inclusion.
