For years, we’ve argued that audiovisual accessibility is not merely a set of techniques, but rather a way of understanding cinema itself. Yet convictions need data to back them up. That’s why, between February and March 2025, we decided to rigorously measure what happens when someone watches our film Inclusivity – Beyond Cinema. The results confirm something we had long suspected: there exists a gap between wanting to do things right and knowing how to do them.
Methodology: How We Measured Change
Working alongside Josep Solves from CEU Cardenal Herrera University, we administered a structured questionnaire before and after the film screening to 72 people who volunteered to participate. The instrument evaluated four dimensions through 20 questions on a 5-point Likert scale:
Technical knowledge (7 items)
Understanding of impact (2 items)
Attitudes and beliefs (6 items)
Behavioral intention (5 items)
This pre-post design allowed us to compare each participant’s responses before and after, thereby measuring the change attributable to the viewing experience.

At Mi Cine Inclusivo, we continue to push the boundaries of accessibility—extending it beyond language. We are proud to announce the international premiere of the English-dubbed version of our feature documentary INCLUSIVITY: Beyond Cinema at the Fort Smith International Film Festival (FSIFF), which will celebrate its fifth edition from August 7–9, 2025, at the Fort Smith Convention Center in Arkansas, USA.
Dubbing and Inclusion: A Technological and Human Journey
The Accessibility Report is an interactive manual. It is divided into ten sections, which contain the different phases of the creative process of this film. Its aim is to capture the essence of each department of the project through videos, photographs and the testimonies of its main team. This allows the professionals in accessibility to know firsthand the most important data they will have to take into account in the audio description and the enriched subtitling.

People are usually motivated by personal experience as a catalyst for universal change. Miguel Ángel Font Bisier admits he is not an agent of change who has personally been affected by any disability either through family members or his social bubble.
No, his defining moment was a result of a meeting with a deaf attendee at a film festival in San Diego 10 years ago. Admittedly, due to budget constraints and not thinking it would be selected for festival content, he had decided to shoot the film more as video art, abundant with visuals, few sound effects and complimenting music.
