Sign language in our inclusive productions

From the moment we started to do some research and work on our inclusive projects, sign language has always played a special role.

Sign language is an extremely important form of communication for deaf and deaf-blind people.

Today many people still believe that sign language is an accessibility tool, as are subtitling and audio description. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sign language has its own cultural identity and heritage. Sign language is history, it is a feeling. It honours the past of so many people that have protected it, over the centuries, enriching it while building a present and a future for the community.

Inclusive Cinema Culture is a right, not a privilege

Inclusive Cinema Culture is a right not a privilege

It is essential to recognize that culture is not just about the information or stimulus we receive daily. Culture and knowledge make us grow. They strengthen our character and our identity as individuals.

Fortunately, society tends to be more inclusive. A political commitment has been made in Spain so that all public products, goods, and services are accessible. This commitment also includes artistic displays, spaces, and cultural events. Therefore, there has been an increase in productions that present audio-described content, with accessible subtitling and sign language.
